I love those.

Since the time of the Vikings until 1940 blacksmiths in Europe have been allowed to perform handfastings (a wedding).As they were considered upstanding and important people in the village.Scotland was the last country to ban weddings by any one other than a priest in 1940!Blacksmithing at Renn. faires we have been ask to preform a symbolic handfasting for a marriage forged in fire and bound by iron.

Wasn't that what Lil told me about shackles in the dungeon, that it was all about love?

And, is it not?

some day I'll get around to posting some of the iron work my wife's grandfather did

Yes, love.

amazing craftmanship jay-t

Have been posting my work mainly on Facebook.So I thought to finally post some here

I also do a little wood carving

This is so far beyond my ability. I can nail timber together, but this is creativity.

I'll second that OF. Jay-T, you do some really nice work. Wow! Thanks for sharing those pics.

There are no words for how lovely your work is. I still collect iron but have not gotten anything lately. Your work is stunning.

jay-t,

Very nice things. Thank you for sharing them with us.
