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.

Decorative Bird Set
This month's Challenge is to create a set of three decorative birds.
Kipling used three differnt metals to create a family set of chickens that can nest together or stand alone. Andrew made a copper birds set in a forged steel loop.
This month we talk about learning new skills and tools. Our esoteric eggel gets us talking about our best bird stories.
