The Villages - June 2021 - 34

{ FOR THE
OF A RT }
Reg described the tools he used as a docent.
" Basic tools were a forge, a hammer, an anvil
and tongs. We determined the temperature by
color; 800 degrees was red, then on through
the rainbow to almost 3,000 degrees, which
was a white heat. "
With the right tools, the knowledge and the
skill, Reg could fashion nearly anything with
fire and steel. " We made everything - nails,
chairs, hardware, utensils, tools, weapons,
decorative items, artwork, gates, branding irons
and historical reproductions, " he said. " Your
only limitation is your imagination. "
In 2017, Reg left the bulk of his tools behind
and moved with his wife Marjorie to their
retirement home in The Villages. These days, he
likes to work with a different kind of metal -
the stainless-steel shaft of his golf club.
" I twiddle my thumbs, play golf and tennis
when I can, " he said.
We made everything - nails, chairs, hardware,
utensils, tools, weapons, decorative items, artwork,
gates, branding irons and historical reproductions.
Your only limitation is your imagination.
