<description><![CDATA[Yes, I was aware he had died.  I saw a notice of his estate sale last year in an antiques magazine and found out after asking around that he had passed.  I fondly remember several visits to the shop and the pub, where I was still after many years able to pull a beer with a perfect head --I worked my way through college primarily as a bartender.  I sent away for the auction catalogue, but was too late to drive to Asheville for the sale.  The catalogue has some wonderful pictures of items from the sale.  It was a wonderful collection and its a shame it had to be broken up.  I understand some of the lots of assorted tools went for very reasonable prices.<br />

a week ago I received a note from Wayne Coe saying that Tim Kris died. If you have attended a Campbell School course you may have had a chance to meet Tim and admire his shop and museum in Brasstown NC. Tim was a great sponsor of first class blacksmithing and was quite accomplished himself. On his property he liked to show off his expansive well equipped shop, including a huge 2-phase driven power hammer, a complete pattern shop and a museum with a vast array of anvils from 2000 years ago until today. In his three-legged dog pub he liked to be gracious host and freely dispensed Guinness in this dry county. He and Judy Berger from the Blue Moon Forge have created a book featuring his anvil collection. Apparently Tim was going blind. Now he sees the light above us.<br />
