Hot Rod Revolution

Yesterday my brother Steve and I went to the Hot Rod Revolution in Austin. It was a show that strictly focused on pre '48 traditional American hot rods, so the turn out was rather limited.  The venue was Camp Mabry military base, so combined with some WWII re-enacters the event was very cool. Sadly I had no battery to take photos, but I did score this rad new patch to add to the collection.

Blacksmith Apprentice

Last week I got a part time job working for an architectural metal fabrication company called Precision Iron.  I've been really craving some steelwork experience to help round out my metalsmithing education, so I've been practicing Some MIG welding and now am employed as a blacksmith apprentice.  The job is great but hard, lets just say I wont be needing to go to the gym. I've been forging these guitar pieces for some new railing at Hard Rock Cafe in San Antonio.
