any blacksmiths on the line?
When Uli came to visit a couple years ago, he and his wife stopped at our house and stayed a couple days. I was trying to think of things we could do while he was here, so I took him for a blacksmithing lesson with my buddy James Roth at his forge. Let’s just say that we all had a great day, Uli and James were fast German friends, and much comraderie ensued. James number one rule, if you can make a leaf, you can be a blacksmith. Reason is, he makes a lot of custom gates, and a lot of them are adorned with vining leaves and such. So, we all made leaves, then had beer and pretzels, more blacksmithing, then lunch. It was a great day, and I know Uli liked it a lot. We made our leaves into keychains.
