For this year's Fools with Tools Treasure Trade (#

For this year's Fools with Tools Treasure Trade (#FWTTT) I was lucky enough to have Jon Wills of Jon Wills Woodworking (IG: @jonwillswoodworking) out of Virginia as my secret Fool.

I got the package earlier this week, but have only just now had the chance to take pictures of the *amazing* contents of my holiday gift. I did let Jon know that it arrived and I loved it (I'm not a monster...).

Anyway, my gift items included a Viking-inspired treasure chest (with something very touching inside of the lid...). Also, a Serenity Christmas ornament and newborn Alien face-hugger (naawww...) done in wood and resin.

Thanks so much again, Jon! And many thanks to all awesome people in the Fools with Tools Podcast group (IG: @fwtpodcast)!

So, here's me... still teasing you.

Getting closer to assembly time.

Forged a leaf pendant today. The leaf came out fine, but I'm not sure if I like the stem end or not. It's sort of what I wanted, but not quite.

Here's tonight's hand-forged steel chopsticks (along with an in-process hot shot). Experimenting with the twists at the top is fun.

So far, all the tops have been finished with bees wax. But I just spent a bit of money with Sculpt Nouveau (@sculptnouveau), so I'm looking forward to some patina experiments in the near future.

It's been ... what? ... 8 or 9 months since my first pre-pandemic class at @thesteelyard with @willowthewispmetalwork on making a forging hammer. Anyway, we had our second class last night. There was *a lot* of team striking with sledge hammers to drift holes through high-carbon steel.

So, you know, I slept pretty well last night...

I had hoped to attend the Catskill Mountain Makers Camp (@themakerscamp), but that won't happen for obvious reasons.

Though the on-site event has been called off, the organizers put together a fantastic virtual event (starting today) featuring brilliant makers and more than a few talented blacksmiths and metalworkers. These sessions will stream via their Instagram Live feed.

To attend, follow @themakerscamp and then join their live feed at the times (EST) listed in these images.

Another set of #chopsticks completed tonight at JDH Metalcraft. Different pattern from the last. Oh by the way, these belong to @theartistinresidence.

NOTE: These won't be available to the wider public until I get my tooling sorted (so these don't take as long per set). Work in progress.
