Forging a Roasting Fork with B and A Forge | NMLRA Traditional Craft

We catch up with Broadus and Angus Thompson of B&A Forge at the NMLRA National Championships to hang out and watch them work.

It was an absolute delight to observe these boys work through the week. Many will say that kids these days don’t want to learn or work hard, but Broadus and Angus Thompson, as well as their friends are a shining exception to the norm.


This video was brought to you by the members of the NMLRA, thank you.
