2024:

1. In March of 2024, I went to the BushFire Forge  on the SE side of London for 5 days. The first 2 days involved bronze casting a pommel and guard for my sword (started in 2012), and the final 3 days were for an axe class, where I learned to make a Viking style axe out of wootz steel. The instructor (pictured below) is a renowned bladesmith in London, Owen Bush. Read more about the adventure here.
