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.
Brothers in Smithing - Monthly Metal Challenge
a Shrike is not a mammal!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This month's challenge will be to create an award using an animal from March Mammal Maddness.
Kipling chased out a Northern Shrike (and yes we are aware a shrike is not a mammal) and got creative with the colouring and name plaque. Andrew made a Thylacine trophy with a neat pedestal using some creative welding.
This month we talk about annoying consumables and our esoteric eggel gets us talking about animals we want to morph into.

The April challenge will be to create a candle holder from 6 beer cans.
