Justin Morrell is the owner of Morrell Metalsmiths in Colrain MA, and the President of the New England Blacksmiths. We had a great time talking about growing up as the son of a blacksmith and how his father Leigh (current President of ABANA) encouraged Justin in a very positive way. It was a great story of family and trust, and faith in your child as well as the responsibility to your employees during Pandemic. Justin is a great guy, very forward thinking and an important leader in the blacksmithing community.
I encourage you reading this to join the NEB (http://www.newenglandblacksmiths.org/) and ABANA (https://abana.org/) for this reason: There are opportunities to add your voice to a strong community that can help schools, scholarships and events to make the blacksmith and bladesmith world stronger. Definitely consider it after listening to what Justin would like to do.
