The Moran workshop was a great experience and a ton of fun. We had great weather and lots of good instruction from many outstanding bladesmiths, lots of old school bladesmiths and younger ones too!
Here is a photo of the MS & JS bladesmiths.
From L to R JS Ronnie Boydston, JS Len Landrum, MS Joe Cordova, JS and ABS Treasurer Bill Wiggins, MS Jay Hendrickson, MS Daniel Winkler, JS Shawn Hendrickson & MS A.G. "Barney" Barnes
Other notables were MS Dr. James Batson, who I had a discussion with over lunch.
And Mr. Houston Price who co authored the Moran book "Master of The Forge"
The work shop opened with a discussion on steel types and basic forging and heat treating techniques from MS Jay Hendrickson.
Next, MS Daniel Winkler conducted a forging demo.
