Bowie's was pretty good this year. I actually won something in the Iron In The Hat raffle!

Also, my wife wanted to learn to do ornamental steel work for her birthday and she did really well twisting and hammering hot steel.

Here's a picture of her with my tiny one brick gas forge.

Jim Batson, Larry Harley, Ethan Becker, Stephen Fowler and a whole host of great knife smiths were there.
