BOLTS attended this years Pig in the Park Festival at Historic Waynesboro Village held every second Saturday in April. Here we have one of the many kids enjoying some of Andy's beans he cooks over an open fire for lunch.
Johns Sykes talked it up with the crowd and demonstrated how to make his famous Wizard.
You can see how to make John's wizard here at http://theblacksmithsanvil.com/wp/?cat=89 in the step by step section of clinkers and ash on our website www.theblacksmithsanvil.com
Andy is always a big draw for the kids. He makes them leaves and hooks if they turn the blower for him.
Elton Etheridge was demonstrating what he learned at our recent Tong Making class with Peter Ross. Our next two meetings will be at John Sykes and Elton Etheridge's shops respectively where we will work on projects from the two classes we have taken this year, tongs and candlestands.

If you’ve never visited Jerry Darnell’s shop, you need to go. There is no other like it, nor is there any other like Jerry.
