Moons and memories

[AdamRidlon]

Evening all. Have been a bit of a lurker lately -- I never manage to find the time to post nowadays. Never seem to be able to find the time to pound steel either, but I had to make an exception for this last full moon.

The last time I saw its like was four years ago almost to the day -- I drove straight through from Arkansas to Arizona. I spent my nights on a big rock out in Saguaro National Park, and in the mornings I drove in to Tucson where Tai managed to impart a little knowledge on a complete newbie. On those nights, the moon was so bright we couldn't sleep. My friend and I ended up hiking and exploring all night long, sans flashlights.

Seeing that same moon the other night sparked the memory, as well as a need to get out and create something useful.

So thanks, moon, for coming 'round. And thanks, Tai, for the memories.

Ps. It's still rough, and the first thing I have welded up and forged out in nigh on a year, but this is what came out of my full moon forging:

Stunningly beautiful. All I got from the last full moon was an interesting pic of the backyard.

Very nice work. And from my experience, probably very sharp and very tough too.

[Carey Quinn]

That's really impressive. It's hard to imagine what your work would be like if you hadn't been away from the forge for a year.

Thanks!

It felt good to make up with my mistress, the anvil. When my wife wraps up this degree in the spring I should have the time to renew the affair. Until then, the closest thing I have is a wooden anvil, a plastic hammer, play dough, and a two year old rapscallion.

Looking good Adam!

Glad you are still doing some forging.
