Lucy and Kristi and Kristi's parents, Roy and Marge, were back today to finish their Billet Knives! Roy made a skinning knife, while Lucy and Kristi both made EDCs. Marge went a little more dramatic with a bowie-ish style blade. Really nice work by all 4!

Because of the snow day last week, both age groups for Level 2 Homeschool class were in the forge this morning! Everyone is at different stages in their projects. Elijah finished his first damascus knife, and then started his short sword. Cruz is almost done with his damascus. He got a fantastic pattern on the blade! Landon started his short sword. Both he and Elijah will be grinding next time. And Ben finished hammering his sword, cleaned it up on the grinder, and is almost done with the cutting edge. Really nice work by him today!
