We've been challenged to post 5 days of creative endeavors, so we're starting the week off with an iron heart project in honor of Valentine's Day. Jeff took advantage of some warmer temps and headed out to the forge yesterday to make two hearts; this is his own design and a very popular piece. One has been spoken for, but the other is available. Just let us know if you are interested...
And, here's how the pieces will look when they are finished. Lovely!
We are Jeff Dunkelberger and Caitlin Garvey, a husband and wife team, doing our best to explore our creative selves while at the same time raising two active young boys and working professionally.
We get a lot of questions about what tools we use. For blacksmithing, Jeff makes a lot of specialized tools for certain projects, but he does use a Brent Bailey cross-peen hammer and a J. Blurton rounding hammer. We also use a Chile Tabasco propane forge and a 335-lb EuroAnvil. For photography, Caitlin uses a Nikon D7000 and various Nikon lenses (35 mm 1:1.8G, 12-24mm 1:4 G, 55-300mm 1:4.5-5.6G, and 60mm 1:2.8G macro).
