Backyard Blacksmithing: Circle H Ranch & Blacksmith Shop

http://www.grit.com/farm-and-garden/do-it-yourself/blacksmithing-zm0z15mjztri.aspx David Hadl is a backyard blacksmith who has lived in northeast Kansas most of his life. A former “woodworker guy” for Reuter Organ Company and parachute rigger for the US Navy, David is enjoying retirement. His longtime hobby of blacksmithing has been developing since the late 1980s when his wife, Gay, and he took up residence in Lawrence, Kansas, where they currently live. One might not think a functioning blacksmith shop would be possible in the heart of a bustling town, but David has successfully created his own space for designing and creating one-of-a kind knives, tools and more.
