Yay! The whole family has now been in the forge! Scott and Harlie were back to work on their knives. And now the last member of the family finally came. Sam did a great job learning the basics by making an "S" hook. Then she made 2 Candy Canes!

Because Thanksgiving is next Thursday, the older Level 2 Homeschool class came today. Ben finished hammering out his damascus blade shape, got through grinding, and to the final acid etch. Cruz got all of his folds done on his damascus, and most of the blade shaped. Nicely done to both of them!
