I have received a very nice bit of recognition recently.  I was asked to demonstrate axe forging at this years Rocky Mountain Blacksmithing Conference in Carbondale Colorado.

While this is a great honor and I am really looking forward to it.  I also am a bit nervous.  One of my blacksmithing idols, Peter Ross, will also be demonstrating this year.  I know Peter has made quite a few more axes over the years than I have.  In any case it promises to be a great conference.  We will also have Mindy Gardner and James Makely to fill out the demonstrators.  If you’re a blacksmith or simply interested please come and join us.
