  1. A google search returned no organization with that exact name. The Tidewater Blacksmith Guild was the first result-- I've been to 2 meetings so far. Danke! Funny, we were just talking about that last week. I'm not sure if he'd be legally allowed, but he probably knows people that can throughout the country.
  2. Thanks for the welcome, everyone-- I don't have much time to address everything mentioned because the sun is out & winds are coming in a few hours, so I'm setting up to forge. Pics will come tonight, K. Bryan, and yes, Grundsau, I joined the Tidewater Blacksmith Guild a few months back. I haven't been able to make every meeting, but they're good people & I've seen that Travis maintains the TBG forum here. Ok, now I'm off to find those scrolling tong design ideas that made me join this site to begin with! I can't make my mom's Christmas gift without them.
  3. I took blacksmithing at Old Dominion University (Norfolk, VA) this fall & fell in love. A couple weeks ago, I drove 5 hours up to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania to pick up a forge from the 1880's, a Mousehole anvil (unsure of date-- hand punched hardy & pritchel), 60 pounds of coal, 40 antique files, and a random bit of tools. What a road trip! Totally worth every mile. A little more: I'm taking glass blowing this coming semester, but I doubt I'll enjoy it as much as smithing. I'm married to a tattoo artist & my right arm will have a blacksmith-themed sleeve begun this month. Bacon makes everything better. Questions?
