I thought I’d put together a December update. I’ve gotten the chance to get out and actually work at the forge a couple of times recently. The first time it was raining the entire time but it was good to be working. The second was just this last Friday. I spent several hours there making straps to hold the anvil on the stump we found for it. I’d like to throw a big Thank You out to Noah Armstrong who helped us locate a stump for the anvil and his dad Jim Armstrong who has been helping us document these early days at Fox River Forge with his photography skills. I will be posting some of his pictures in the near future. Near the end of the day on Friday I decided, last minute, that I wanted to do a video update so here it is.
So there you go. Here are a couple of photos I took. One is the Railroad Spike Butter Spreader I made and the other is a hook. I am working on designs for a cuff style bracelet and the hook started out in that direction but ultimately wasn’t going to work so I changed direction and turned it into a hook you drive into a beam. I am going to try to get some shelter put up over things before it snows so we can work this winter. I will keep you updated. Happy Holidays from everyone here at Fox River Forge and Spike’s Creations!
