I Forge Blueprints Day

[John B]

Is anyone on the site interested in coming to the forge at Westpoint (just 1and a half miles from Junction 30 Exeter Services on the M5) as a social/learning event ?

I am asking now so that if there is a good response, we can schedule it in for some time next year, and fit it in in between our normal courses which are at the planning stage for 2009 at the moment.

There are 12 hearths and three portable forges available, and I am proposing that we could make some of the items listed in the blueprints or just have a general forging day.

It would be good to meet face to face, take part or just watch, we can all learn something from each other.

If you are interested please register an interest here on the site.

Of course I would be intrested! And I should think alot of other people would be, but i don't see many English people around.. And those that I see are quite far from the Devon area.

Put me down as interested, John! I can probably recruit a couple of friends too.

Thanks guys, noted

Rich there are more than you think, I can list at least sixty professional smiths that are sent details inviting them to compete at the Royal Cornwall Show, there are many more that are amatuer or students of the craft.
