Growing up I was always intrigued by medieval crafting and life, top that off with my love for fantasy and I was left with a yearning to create. As a kid I learned my family had a history of blacksmithing and I wanted to get a closer feel to what that would have been like. This is a hobby for me, and I try to give people the chance to see this craft when I can.
