It can be tough sometimes to keep up with social media sometimes, and life has a way of moving fast. I often think about a good idea to post, and share a skill, but it is difficult to get to a computer and update the blog. I didn’t think about using a phone. It would surprise some to know that I am a technology teacher, and some forms of tech still eludes me. I never used social media so it is hard to break into that routine.
I now have an app for my phone to update the blog whenever I get an idea. This will be great when I am at an event or working on a project.
Last month, I spent some time at the World Scout Jamboree, sharing history of the fur trade. I brought my forge and shared a lot of skills. We opened up a new activity to our area and taught fire with flint and steel. This skill facinates people and really challenges skill levels. I taught some others how to forge a steel striker, and shared the significance of for steels to the time period.
In the coming days, I will attend an historic weekend, and demonstrate my blacksmithing and pewter smith skills. Stay tuned for pictures and new posts.
