    Just amazing. I've always been kind of torn between pursuing an academic career or something more hands on and unique like this. Deep down this seems like a dream job.

      Thank you! It’s a very deeply rewarding job, takes a long time and it’s challenging, but can’t imagine doing anything else.

    Wow, the massive pieces you were working made that anvil look small! I know it's not, but I feel like those blows could have caused an anvil twice that weight to still dance around. I absolutely love the end result! It must feel like your walking through a door meant for a giant!

    Amazing work as always. I have a question regarding something I've always wondered about when it comes to blacksmithing. After years of hammering metal, do you run the risk of developing microfractures in your bones? All the vibration from hammering... does it take it's toll on the body?
