My mentor Clifton Ralph died last night. He was a world class character. I will never forget him. 
This is a link to a video of him about 3 years ago.

A visit with my mentor- blacksmith and philosopher Clifton Ralph in Gary IN.

Clifton was quite a fellow. I saw him at Sloss at a time when he forged several anvils on that 1500 # power hammer they had over there and on several other occasions. His long time working helper, Yovanovitch helped him with the heavy tools used in the forgings. They worked almost as one person. I too never got over Cliftin.   Bob Heath
