This electronic journal shall be my way of sharing what it is I am doing with the attempt over the next year in making and using a Norse forge with 2 single bellows. It will also include pictures of my attempts in this process. Why? you might be asking, well firstly because I have placed my name in with the White Wolf Fion. This is an SCA order that challenges the artisan into creating a piece that will expand their level of knowledge and ability and research. And secondly, I find this sort of challenge to be a great way to continue to push your limits and learn new things. This is the first time that I will be attempting a challenge so even the process is going to be a neat experience for me. I have a year from the Feast of the Hare this last Saturday, November 7th, 2009. Here is the first step, this blog, now comes the next ones.
I will be keeping a written journal aswell that will be handed in with pictures of the process and my research and commentary about the whole process both good and not so good out comes. I am very excited about it all and hope that you will feel free in making comments as time goes on. Did I mention I am a big promoter of the blacksmith arts??
Well I shall sign off for now, keep the irons hot!
