Well dear friends, all one of you. Big shout out to @crowsparrotsandoctopiohmy (totally not me...) First post time!

As you may have surmised, from my name, thumbnail and the picture you're looking at I'm a blacksmith, well not really, I'm an artist who does blacksmithing, seeing as I can't call myself an alchemist... yet, blacksmith was the next best title I had. But I digress.

Now some explanation for the photo you're seeing above, because I know you have questions, I have questions... So many questions.

What you're seeing is the product of a slow evening's work (or morning depending on your life choices). Modified tongs for holding my crucible, (you ever held part of the Sun? Felt the thermal energy of a half an hour's worth of combustion flashing and sloshing around in your hands? Have you ever seen game of thrones? It's a bit like that- you need good tongs for that shit) some half finished pendants, and chunks of 01 steel, for a secret project, *shhh* something that's never been done before to the best of my knowledge.

Anyway, that's enough delirious Smith posting for this evening.
