It's been awhile now, working on the new shop, the shop truck, the website(still in progress!) and advertising around the area.

Bricklayer

I am sure not a mason, but it is a brick wall! One more to go and the shop addition will be watertight. (mostly)

New Shop Windows

Hot Rolling Mill

I've been designing and tweaking a rolling mill that I can make with available materials. The more I read about them the more I am praying that if it's the next step in the Lord's plan for this aspect of my life, I will stumble upon one, because I really don't know if I can do it on my own.

More updates and a hammer!

We were finally able to begin forging in the new shop! We forged a hammer with a striker in all of maybe 30 minutes, WAY faster than I've ever been able to myself. It's so nice to have other people to work with and help direct when your punch gets stuck in your block for three heats...

First peek into the new shop!

This will be the shop we'll be hosting classes and working on group projects in. The Lord has really brought me an incredible amount of blessing through the people I've met and the things I've learned. It's so awesome the way God has brought just the right people together in such an amazing way.

You can get a hold of me at My Facebook Page or My Email Address and we can get you down for classes. We're still in the planning phase obviously but things will be starting soon and you can get your name down now! Check A.Davis Metalworx Facebook and A.Davis Metalworx Blog often for even more updates.

Really awesome shop videos

Theatre Poster

I've been illustrating and designing a poster for our local college that is starting a theatre/drama program. It's been really hard because I've never done anything like it, but it's teaching me an awful lot. 

Bill Moran and the Forged Blade

Stumbled upon this incredible video. Makes me want to make a knife!
