Have a nice day.

Welcome aboard Julia.
There are a couple of lady blacksmiths here on AM feel free to join in. You should have a good time. I once thought I knew what I was doing...only to find that I don't do it that way anymore. Nice hooks, I looked. We love pics. Brad

Julia, will you be coming up

Ries - Monday, March 17, 2008 - 11:25am

Julia, will you be coming up to the NWBA meet at the end of April in Mt. Vernon?

Its a bit pricy- $75 for members, but that includes dinner on Saturday night, demos, hands on workshops, stuff for sale, and lots of great people to talk to.
Bring a piece for the gallery.

I would encourage all aspiring blacksmiths to attend their local groups- here in the northwest, we have an amazing bunch of smiths, many of them world class, who get together twice a year to drink beer and tell each other lies.

And give Grant Sarver more of our money

Grant makes some of the best blacksmithing tools ever- tongs, texturing tools, and so on, which he sells direct at the NWBA events- all others have to buy them from www.blacksmithdepot.com

NWBA

thanks! I don't know if I'll be able to make it, but I will definitely try. I have been meaning to get on the NWBA mailing list for a while now, thanks for reminding me.

Actually, what you should do

Ries - Monday, March 17, 2008 - 2:32pm

Actually, what you should do is join- it costs $40 a year, but for that you get 4 issues of the magazine, which is worth it right there.

There is a very large and active Blacksmith community here in the northwest, and the way we communicate with each other is thru the Hot Iron News.

Oh!!!!!!!

Julia S-S - Monday, March 17, 2008 - 8:53pm

Jerry and Ina Culberson are (were?)a part of Hot Iron News and the NWBA!
I took a workshop at The Old Cedar Forge. That was my first impression of real serious blacksmithing.
I will join as soon as finals are over and my brain can breathe! (Later this week.)
Thanks a lot.
~~~Julia
