Dave finally got around to doing his thing to my welding helmet. Love the results!

Here's a slideshow of the WIP.

I was looking for hand forged knives, and randomly found this guy on Etsy(http://www.etsy.com/shop/NateRunalsBlacksmith). He happens to be from the same small podunk town in West Michigan that I'm originally from. I'm gonna visit his shop sometime, and he gave me some good info on local-ish black smithing classes.

...bought these two from him:

Yeah, Etsy has some cool stuff. Gotta be discerning though....they let too much junk on in my opinion. "hand made in China, available for wholesale" and cheap, and people it it. Sucks.But there are some real craftsmen and artisans on there too.
