He actually finished it since then, inbetween being in school at Cal Poly. He was working on one of the greaves, and is a very skilled smith (of any age, let alone someone who's 19). He was written up in our local's newspaper the summer before last, and was involved in my mentor Kirk McNeill's "Sharky-go-round" project that ended up in Black Rock City last summer. He (along with two other smiths and I) back up the regular Roaring Camp blacksmith when Frank's away; I actually took off a day yesterday and worked in the forge. Matt's got all three days (Sat-Mon) next weekend. Best, Bill Felton, CA On Tue, Jun 20, 2017 at 3:06 PM, Michael Suwczinsky |
