Today we went to a metal working shop that people from the workshop had found.  [Update:  This shop was called Forjador.  Check our their site for their awesome work.] This is the wrought iron type of place where they make railings and all types of custom metal work. They don’t do much by machine however, unlike many of their contemporaries. It allows them to make completely insane works of art that go into peoples homes and businesses. Here’s the workshop, at least the part that we were in most. There is a larger part to the left, but this is the interesting bit. That anvil weighs about 2000 lbs by the way… it sits on a tree stump.

This is the man who shared his work with us and told us what was up… at least he told Dane what was up and my Dad and I got some of it second hand. I wish I could remember his name. Actually, I need to get his name and email address from Dane so I can send him these pictures. Anyway, he was a great guy and had no problem talking to us about what he was doing… no problem at all. He talked a lot.
