Master Blacksmith, Scholar of History, Student of Bonsai, and Conservationist.
I have stood before the Anvil for twenty-eight years and counting. For my day job I manage an international blacksmithing organization, known by different names on different continents. Our goal is to preserve through education the skill-set of working iron and steel by hand, not by machine. We have workshops in North & South America as well as in Europe.

Hello! I wanted to make those interested aware that I have launched the Maine Blacksmith's Guild channel. This is where I will focus the majority of the forging, smelting and mining. I will still have those aspects here on this channel but they wont shadow the natural and bonsai aspects of the BonsaiBlacksmith. In my mind this is a healthy division to keep focus for my subscribers.

PSA:
Those who have purchased raffle tickets for the Bowie Knife and were curious about an update, I recently found out from WIX who hosts my website they hide this item from the public. I guess their payment processing does not want raffles. So the mystery why I had not sold a raffle ticket in four months was finally solved.
I have a work around. This weekend is the last weekend to purchase a raffle ticket to win the Bowie Knife below. Proceeds go to Charity to help victims of the floods in Texas. Here is the link to purchase a raffle ticket: buymeacoffee.com/bonsaiblacksmith/e/528470
I will be hosting a live stream tomorrow, Sunday April 12th to pull a ticket from the names, don't delay get one of the limited raffle tickets for yourself before you miss the chance!
