Frosty Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Welcome aboard, glad to have you. IFI has representatives from numerous countries and the more the merrier. Your English is just fine, don't worry about it. Most of us aren't about to criticize someone who's bilingual for not being perfect. Heck, none of us are perfect, even in our faults. Though some of us do try. <grin> Frosty The Lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leifbennett Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I'm not sure if it counts as a "group", but there's a place that has classes and open forge nights in the Los Angeles area. Might be good for Matt Czosnek's student, or anyone else (like me) that wants to learn. Adam's Forge http://adamsforge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvilfolk Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Good thing someone posted here, or I might've missed it. I've been running a forum for Portuguese blacksmiths for a few years now. It used to be dead, but we've got around 5-10 relatively active people now. It'd be a big favour if you could feature us here :) Portugal Fórum do Ferro Forjado - The Forged Iron Forum www.ferroforjado.org We are working towards becoming an official group... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judson Yaggy Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Can the moderators fix the list so that New England Blacksmiths shows up for all of the New England states (VT, NH, ME, MA, CT, RI)? Right now it only shows NEB under Rhode Island. We are a big active group that has meets and hammer ins all over the region.

ThomasPowers Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Great way to start! We used to carpool to go to SWABA meetings when I lived in Ohio; it was a two hour drive for us and so sharing the cost and the travel time was a big help. (Actually it ran us longer as we stopped at a fleamarket on the way to buy post vises and pie, both cheap and good!) BTW I don't know if you are involved in Scouting but there is a Blacksmithing Merit badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
