The Blacksmith Experience

Day three or four for the teen knife making summer camp experience is in the books! Definitely a busy day doing some rough grinding, drilling holes, prepping wood handles, and quenching the steel! Tomorrow is our last day and it is looking like this class is going to make some really nice looking blades!

Check out some of our upcoming teen knife making classes at www.theblacksmithexperience.com!

Just wrapped up day two of four for the teen knife making summer camp experience this week! A lot of great rough profiled blades. We will be starting the grinding tomorrow as we inch our way to the finish line. We will wrap up the day tomorrow with some heat treated blades and ready for final assembly on Thursday!

This has definitely been a great group of kids to hang out with for the week!

What a treat it was to hang out with Javi yesterday! He did such an awesome job making a chef knife!

If you ever make it to Cancun, and head over to Las Mujeres Island, please definitely consider visiting Javi's Cantina Restaurant Bar. Javi was such a blast to talk to! He is such an incredible musician and food artist. I am definitely planning to visit Cancun and enjoy an awesome dinner and evening of entertainment with him one of these days!

Just thought this was too funny not to share . . . As I've been registering our Non-Profit with the State of Alabama, I've been trying to determine the best commodity code to use for registering our services.

There is a list of 5-digit commodity codes from the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) to identify ordered items. Just wanted to share some services, products, etc your business can provide, and even apparently be paid for:

96254 - Mattress and Bedspring Renovation and Repair
96270 - Removal and Pickup of Dead Bodies
95229 - Dating and Es**rt Services
27930 - Buckles, 18th Century Reproduction

As "they" say, the "riches are in the niches"
