I'm leaving out of Garner tomorrow morning at 6am. I have an empty car and would like some traveling companions to and back from the Blacksmith Guild of Virginia Jessie Ward demo. Blacksmith Guild of Viriginia - Home I will cover gas. She will be doing a demo/hands on for a lucky few on team hammering. Sorry about the late notice. My car went from full to empty this week.

I can't wait to see the photos. This weekend I'm doing a demo over by mt airy nc if all goes well we'll be making medieval styled sporks if it goes really really really well some of them will be pattern welded this is one of the styles of sporks Display Image

I get allot of complaints about using coal or charcoal. My entire rig goes up and takes down very fast. putting up the canopy takes longer than the rest of the setup.
