Arnt moves fast, since all the shots were made with existing light, there
are some slightly blurry images. Here, he puts a twist in a plant holder
for the garden.
Arnt is a well known Northwest artist. Check out his site: http://arntarntzen.com/

Chris
from North Bend.
He's creating the base for a pair of candle holders. The bending fixture can be seen in the post vise.
The class poses in front of Jerry's 57 Kenworth flatbed. Jerry uses this truck to haul his equipment to the NWBA meets.
This is what we as a class made. This is a beginning class, first time for most of us!
It
takes a little caffeine to take in Jerry's "office" for the
first time.
If you think you need a tool or piece of equipment that Jerry doesn't have, you don't need it.
Our
hosts,
Ina and Jerry
Culberson
Ina's cooking is as good as Jerry's teaching! This is definitely a team project.
Isaac
Anderson
Fullering down a piece of pipe in a guillotine fuller seen below.
Isaac
at the Hammer.
This is something worth the price of admission by itself. The power of the hammer is awesome. Jerry has four or five different hammers including a big Nazel.
Jim
Stelting.
Jims working on a Nimba Forge Centurion anvil. Beautiful tool. Made in Oregon at Nimba Forge.
Eating
like Blacksmiths.
Great food and lots of it! All that work makes you hungry. Ina's good cooking takes care of that.
Ray
Wilder. 
Rob
O'Dea. 
The
way to go. Thanks again to Jerry and Ina. I'm going to encourage everyone
that's even the slightest bit interested to make the trip to Allyn for
one of Jerry's classes, and that great Culberson hospitality!
Cheers,
Wes
