"The skill level is amazing, I have had an interest in the
Pillar for over thirty years as a blacksmith."
I started forging knives when I was 16 and until I moved to Colorado I had a nice forge. Can't do it in this subdivision I live in now. Have you ever been to the Ornamental Metal Museum in Memphis, Tn?

Yes, several times, went to see Jim Wallace.
I got my start from knowing Alex Bealer, a great guy
and the man who did the most to bring blacksmithing
back in this country.
I helped found ABANA, and was a member of Tullie Smith
Blacksmith Guild and the Alabama Forge Council.
I did some knife making a long time ago, do you know
Jim Batson, Cleston Sinyard?
Went to the knife show here in Atlanta last year, sure
are some talented folks doing great work now.
