Jim and Susan at Little Duck Forge
Another successful half day workshop was held at the forge last Saturday. Jim had a Bash and his wife came along and took some photographs of the project in action.
“Many thanks on behalf of Jim, and myself, for the workshop on Saturday. Jim is chuffed to bits … I thoroughly enjoyed it too.”

Obelisk Commission
A commission to design a Obelisk for the garden.
The client took the pictures and commented.
Still have to dig it in but it looks at home in the garden and I’m very pleased with it.
“it also looks nice in the rain as the little drops hang off the leaves at the top like little pearls”

Iron Maid has gone Plastic
Iron Maid the Blacksmith who plays with Blendworth Brass Band has recently received her new purple plastic trombone. Lucille who is Iron Maid often uses a spare moment at the busy Little Duck Forge to keep her “lips in” and have a blow on the Trombone. She was interested in the new trombone made in plastic which reflects her interest in the use of different materials for traditional uses.
Whilst plastic is not going to take over in the near future, it has a number of advantages for certain situations not least the introduction of the instrument to a new generation of players.
“The revolutionary pBone has brought an intriguing twist to the traditional trombone. With its plastic construction, the pBone has taken the trombone market by storm!”
