This dagger I forged was stolen from my booth at the NorCal ren faire last weekend. More info in post.

Hallo and huzzah! I figure it's a long shot, but if anyone sees someone with the circled dagger, it was stolen from my booth (Kempf Forge) in the late afternoon last Sunday. I am an artist, this is how I make my entire living. Whoever took this, you are taking food from the mouth of my son.
This is the first time I've ever had a theft issue in 10 years of vending my wares. So, going to have to start taking more anti theft measures unfortunately. Makes me sad.
If by some random chance you read this, please send it back, I won't press charges I just want my art back. If anyone else sees someone with this, please lay into them and try to get this back to me.
Thanks yall. It was a lovely faire other than that.

Built a new forge, his name is… TROGDOOOOORRRRRRR!!!

What’s up y’all. I just finished this very silly (yet very functional) project up. I’ve been needing a new forge for pattern welding, and decided to just really go for it. Spent probably 60+ hours fabricating Trogdor. He is composed of probably 30 separate pieces of sheet steel all combined. Definitely got much better at welding during this. He gets up to bright yellow/ low white heat. The lower jaw is a work rest and can extend out about 2.5 feet. Thanks for checking him out!
