Thanks for the info DennisG. I know some people that work at Elkvalley Coal in the Crowsnest Pass, so perhaps I will try there. What is the best type of coal to use for forging? I might have to try going to Leduc sometime, I would really like to meet others that are in the art. Thanks again

Darn not much room....There is a Blacksmith guild here in Alberta. Up here, we meet every month on the second sat. at Leduc West Antique grounds in the Blacksmith shop. There is also a chapter in Calgary, not sure about the meet place and when. Our web site is getting set up at WCBG.ca should be up soon since the server change. There are a few of us on IFI, but quiet. Glad to find another here

Hello MrJosiah from Edmonton. Coal has a major distribution problem here in Alberta. The coal the guys tell you about is stoker coal or heating coal. It is "ok" to use but it will have alot of ash and possible sulfur. The Home Hardware in Sherwood Park up here carries 50lb bags for 55$. If you have a good sized truck there is Sparwood in BC. They have some very good Met coal...
