Blacksmithing: Day 3 in the forge

 "We arose to a beautiful day at the Hampton Inn in Lewiston Maine. On our third day of forging, our new skills were truly put on display. We were assigned only two projects, with the rest of our day being open to our own creativity. The first task was the most challenging of the week for some. We had to cut a strip of flaming hot metal and make the two pieces into a design of our choice. The second task was to heat weld a chain link. This required a lot of heat and a lot of patience. Overall this was a fun day to really build whatever we wanted."  -Henry Brunelle
