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
Six Cans and a Candle
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This month's Challenge was to create a candle holder with 6 tall beer cans.
This challenge was just that: a challenge to create something out of such thin material. Kipling used the colour on the cans to make leaves for a fall tree, while Andrew used bare cans to create marsh grass with a duck lifting off.
This month our esoteric eggel has us reminiscing about the best worst beer we have ever tried.
