I've started work on the legs, and have given a more frontal view. Thoghts and nitpiks welcome, as always!
A quick shot from the weekend. I stopped by a friend's place and he was doing some forging.
It is an interesting process; heating up the steel, pounding it out and repeat.
The fire was pretty toasty, it heated up the garage to a balmy 25 degrees Celcius.
I composed the shot to get everything in line. The iPhone camera being off to one side slightly skews the symmetry so it can be difficult to pull off while holding a heavy camera/lens in the other arm.
I waited until Zac started grinding another piece of steel to get the sparks flying in what I call the bokeh section and in the iPhone screen.
For the monks, the forge was the only means to earn some money. Meat was very rare in the monks' diet and thus fish were bred in the pond next to the forge.
In the background stand the cloister on the left and the Abbey Church on the right.
The Abbey of Fontenay is a former Cistercian abbey located near the villiage Marmagne in the Arrondissement Montbard (DĂ©partement of CĂ´te-d'Or). It was founded by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux in 1118 and built in the Romanesque style. It is one of the oldest and most complete Cistercian abbeys in Europe and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981.
It had been awhile since I was inside Varnum's Headquarters. It was sunny but cold today and shooting inside an historic structure in Valley Forge was way better than shooting outside.
I can't help render these scenes in a painterly fashion. They feel so warm in the winter.
Het stationsgebouw van Forges, aan de vroegere tramlijn Chimay - Cul-des-Sarts - Couvin, is nog steeds aanwezig. Het goederendeel is verbouwd, maar de tekst 'Magasin' is goed geconserveerd. Ook het 'bureau' en de 'salle d'attente' zijn duidelijk aangegeven. Het complex is te vinden aan de Rue de la Gare 111.
De metersporige tramlijn Chimay - Cul-des-Sarts is in bedrijf geweest van 1904 tot 1960. Op ongeveer een derde van het tramtracé zijn wandelpaden aangelegd, onder meer tussen de Rue Vertillon en Rue Robert Willame ten zuiden van Forges en van Bourlers naar Forges.

I met this mama deer in valley forge park this morning...she was having breakfast by the road...I pulled up and wind down the window down and took this.
For my entire adult life I have ignored Valley Forge Park. It bored me to tears as a seven-year-old, annoyed me no end with its trite Bicentennial activities, and kept me away with all the campy "reenactments". I finally went there yesterday, viewing it as a photographer. Oh, my. What a treat.
Quick stop at Clifton Forge on our little road trip. Although I am not a huge fan of trains, this stop had me feeling nostalgic. Both of my boys were train obsessed when they were little and we made a few trips to this quaint little town when they were young.

Rainworth Skoda Dukeries Rally (Ford Escort Mk2), Nottinghamshire, England
Hey everyone again last week was a bit surreal in terms of Flickr as I managed to get 4 or 5 of my images into Flickr Explore. Not quite sure how as they were old images, I think it was due to my latest image before this one getting into Explore and viewers checking out my older uploads which caused them to get into Explore. Explore does remain a mystery to me lol but thank you to you all last week, as always it does mean a lot to me that you all take the time to visit and comment on my photos, I thank you.
Anyway, this photo was from the Dukeries Rally up in Sherwood Forest in Nottingham. I met up with fellow Flickr and Twitterers James, Mark and Chris and what a really enjoyable day it was, top guys :-).
Be sure to check out their stunning photostreams :-)
This type of photography is not my normal type of photography but I am really getting into it. This is my second ever rally I have been too but I have learnt that it can be a quite challenging type of photography due to the fast nature of the sport but I persevered and got this.
This photo was me messing around with my panning technique and can assure you there is no Photoshop trickery in this one, this was completely handheld pan as the car sped around the corner, it was a little bit of trial and error but it was quite hard to do at shutter speeds as slow os 1/30s. Not quite as sharp as I would have liked it due to the f-stop I had to use but I like the sense of speed it creates. I originally cropped it at 16:9 but felt it had too much else going on around the car so cropped it square (1:1) and feel this works a lot better, what do you think?
As per usual any constructive criticism is always welcome :-)

Information
The squarer-styled Mark II version appeared in January 1975. The first production models had rolled off the production lines on 2 December 1974.
Unlike the first Escort (which was developed by Ford of Britain), the second generation was developed jointly between the UK and Ford of Germany. Codenamed "Brenda" during its development, it used the same mechanical componentss as the Mark I. The 950 cc engine was still offered in Italy where the smaller engine attracted tax advantages, but in the other larger European markets in Europe it was unavailable. The estate and van versions used the same panelwork as the Mark I, but with the Mark II front end and interior. The car used a revised underbody, which had in fact been introduced as a running change during the last six months of the life of the Mark I.
This car made a point, with just four body styles, of competing in many different market niches where rival manufacturers had either multiple model ranges or simply none at all. "L" and "GL" models (2-door, 4-door, estate) were in the mainstream private sector, the "Sport", "RSMexico", and "RS2000" in the performance market, the "Ghia" (2-door, 4-door) for an untapped small car luxury market, and "base / Popular" models for the bottom end. Panel-van versions catered to the commercial sector.
During the second half of the 1970s, the Escort continued to prove hugely popular with buyers in Britain and other parts of Europe.
A cosmetic update was given in 1978, with L models gaining the square headlights (previously exclusive to the GL and Ghia variants) and there was an upgrade in interior and exterior specification for some models. Underneath a wider front track was given.
In 1979 and 1980 three special edition Escorts were launched the Linnet, Harrier and Goldcrest.
Production, after an incredibly popular model run, ended in Britain in August 1980, other countries following soon after.

These heavy hand forged rings in fine silver are not for the timid. The large one weighs in at 33.3 grams, is 10.5 to 13.8mm wide and 3.3 to 4mm thick.
The rings are made in one session and left finished with all hammer marks left in giving them a very elementary feeling.
I've produced a fair number of basic knives from concrete reinforcing bar (rebar) and rail spikes that I'm selling at a local shop, Bison and Bear. My talented wife designed and printed up the info/care cards for me. These rebar knives aren't quenched, since that would make the steel brittle; I just temper them before final polishing and sharpening. Rail spike knives (see below) are quenched and tempered first. I'm making a number of other things, including bottle openers, toasting forks, and trowels. But knives are certainly the most fun!
