Blacksmithing at the Goat Farm

A few more views of the picturesque Goat Farm property.

It's part of an old cotton gin factory . . .

After two evenings of basic instruction, I attempted a knife-making course at the Goat Farm. With only a 3-inch piece of 1/2" steel rod, I produced my first tool: a little Viking knife.

It meets my minimum expectations.
