Sunflower Metal Art Blacksmithing Forging Video Demo

I'm Back!!!!
At least for this week, After the last video and letting everyone know how busy we have been getting ready for some crazy big shows. I'm happy to report our first multi day fair went excellent! it was so nice stretching our wings and getting a bit out of our comfort zone. Everything was extremely well received and we made a ton of new connections. Along with selling a large volume of our inventory (double edged sword) we garnered a bunch of orders. We have K&O Kansas Oklahoma gas and steam engine show coming up in less than 2 weeks. then we have to gear up for September for the Bluegrass festival! this has potential to be our biggest show ever (so long as the pandemic doesn't shut everything down again.

The sunflower is a fun flower to produce and it leaves a ton of room for creative freedom. I do a large assortment of variations, this was a semi simple one but they can be as detailed or ornate as you wish. I sell this style at Approximately 16" tall for around $80 USD in our store. Materials used are listed in the video.

on a personal note, one of my children has surgery scheduled for the 13th of this coming week, I will be taking a week off to tend to him and assist my wife with moving him around. He is 12 and is handicapped. He has Cerebral Palsy with spasticity in the lower limbs and is mentally delayed. We are having surgery to hopefully prevent major surgeries later on with his legs. To be frank I'm a nervous wreck . As a father making the decision to (even for the greater good) for your own son to have a procedure of any kind is bothersome. I'm sure he will bounce back and be in tip top shape soon enough but will not be able to use his legs without knee immobilizers for a while.

Templates: I have to touch base on this, Thank you all so much for all the continued support and purchases of the templates. I hope that everyone has enjoyed them so far and has created wonderful things with them. With that being said please know that I have a ton more in the works coming in the future. from simple to complex I plan on making templates for darn near everything I do. Once life slows a bit (winter months) I will have a bit more time between forging to get back to the drawing board.

After Bluegrass we should start getting back to our weekly uploads.

As always thank you all so much for your time
hope to see ya'll soon enough.
