What happens when a blacksmith is best friends with a tinsmith?
Andrew Cirtwill of Deer Run Forge and Kipling Campbell of Tapley Tinsmith challenge each other every month to make something great out of metal. We talked about our projects, lessons learned, and other things that come up.

  • Pride in our Art

    This month's Challenge was to create a Pride theme piece of art.

    Kipling used colourful alumium wire to weave a progress pride version of a canadian flag, while Andrew took 10lbs of steel and made 11 little people holding a large sign that says “Stronger” each person being a colour of the progress pride flag.

    This month our esoteric eggel has us telling pride related stories that somehow involves us getting in drag.

  • Fishy Soap Dish-y???
    May 26 2026

    This month's Challenge was to make a fish themed soap dish - cause who dosen’t want one of those.

    Kipling made a bookend like fish scene with LED lights but his epoxy might hide some of his details while Andrew tried epoxy for the first time making three different designs and settled on a sardine can.

    This month our esoteric eggel has us trying new languages.

  • Six Cans and a Candle
    Apr 20 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    This month's Challenge was to create a candle holder with 6 tall beer cans.

    This challenge was just that: a challenge to create something out of such thin material. Kipling used the colour on the cans to make leaves for a fall tree, while Andrew used bare cans to create marsh grass with a duck lifting off.

    This month our esoteric eggel has us reminiscing about the best worst beer we have ever tried.
