My New Apprentice

Smedley the iron blacksmith.



Really it's two articulated third hands for holding hammer, tongs, things for shop photography and arc welding. Been wanting to do that for years.

Happy New Year

That idea goes back years ago to the weld shop at a industrial facility where I worked maintenance. The welders made their own holding fixtures for production welding. Always thought it neat.
