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.

Fishy Soap Dish-y???
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 make a fish themed soap dish - cause who dosen’t want one of those.
Kipling made a bookend like fish scene with LED lights but his epoxy might hide some of his details while Andrew tried epoxy for the first time making three different designs and settled on a sardine can.
This month our esoteric eggel has us trying new languages.
