You might try the Possom Trot forge group in Adams Tn I think they meet on the last Sunday of the month at the old school. Adams is a very small farming town North of I24 just south of Ky.on HY 41. They are a very fine group with a lot of good talent GOOD LUCK.

The Alabama Forge Council will host its 27th Annual Blacksmithing Conference September 6-9, 2012. This year's featured demonstrators are Allen Kress and Tal Harris. AFC has a very strong group of people, and over the years at Tannehill they have constructed several very nice pavillions with quite a bit of equipment/tooling for the purpose of teaching and promoting blacksmithing. If you have never been to their Conference at Tannehill, visit AFC's website for registration information: alaforge.org/ Hope to see you there!

Dave, sorry you missed it! The AACB 2012 Conference, at Pioneer Village in DOWNTOWN (!) MURFREESBORO,TN was a great hit. This is an every-other-year event that actually 'leap-frogs' with the Southern Blacksmith Association's Conferences held in Madison, GA. (they're both held the third weekend of May, so block it out on your calendar & plan to come each year!). Back to this year's Conference - 192 people attended & enjoyed the two fantastic main demonstrators, Ernie Dorrill & Steve Williamson. Great mini demos were also given by Larry Mullins, Joe Babb, Ken Gould, Jason Bivens, Armand Russell, Brandon Vaughan, Larry Mullins, Clint (Buzz) Busbee, and Ray Cole. Family programs were by Sandy Bolin & Sharon Babb, and special thanks to Blue Moon Press for bringing the mobile bookstore. The open forge and dutch oven cookery was a hidden jewel - thanks to Iron Bull. Lots of good tail-gating, iron-in-the-hat, and a HUGE auction with lots & lots of great TOOLS. Looking forward to 2013 in Madison & 2014 back in Murfreesboro. And thanks to IFI also - another great tool!

DEG, thanks for the correction. I've changed it on the calendar, but it will take a few days for the correction to show up. In the meantime, here is the direct link to the AACB Conference page within the website: http://www.blacksmithconference.org Registrations are showing that it's shaping up to be a really good turnout - should be a great weekend.
