    It is excruciating working your way, with the mouse, a Wacom tablet is on my wish list for later on!!, I know I have tried and failed. Beautiful work. Glad you took the time to look at my Anvil I might never have found your site otherwise. I am working on a series of Dean the farrier he went to the last Pendlelton? Round Up in Canada and won a “World Champion Blacksmith Art Award”. My horses like his work too!

  • Wildwings replied

    I agree. Mouse only work is sometimes excruciating but I have a stubborn streak and keep on going. I am saving for a Wacomm tablet. Wish I could afford the ‘Cintiqu.” Yes, I really like your anvil and tools. Glad your horses like it too.:) Many thanks for taking the time to view my work. Much appreciated.
