Brothers in Smithing - Monthly Metal Challenge
What happens when a blacksmith is best friends with a tinsmith?
Andrew Cirtwill of Deer Run Forge and Kipling Campbell of Tapley Tinsmith challenge each other every month to make something great out of metal. We talked about our projects, lessons learned, and other things that come up.

Thermometers - the competition heats up!
This month's Challenge is to make a unique thermometer.
Who really uses thermometers anymore anyway… we each broke a few glass thermometer bulbs building our version of a unique thermometer..
Andrew made a metal daisy-like flower and the leaves come out at the correct temperatures and Kipling took fun weather related sayings and made them into temperature makers out of brass and copper.
This month we talk about what we do with errors and our esoteric eggel gets us resighting nursery rhymes.
