G'day 2070- , might be a good idea to go check these blokes out , they'll point you in the right direction to making your own . https://www.iforgeiron.com/forum/103-artist-blacksmiths-association-south-australia/ http://www.artistblacksmithsa.org.au/live/ Dale Russell

Aus , missed both the ceremony & TV coverage . Do you remember what station / show it was on so I can maybe do an online search to see if I can find it ? Dale Russell

Amanda / Doug , is there any chance of either of you posting photos of the Black Saturday Remembrance Ceremony in Strathewen from yesterday . Strathewen Community invites you, your family and friends to join with us to Commemorate 10 years on from Black Saturday. I would have attended myself , but sadly the invite was sent to an old e-mail address I hardly ever look at & I only found out about this this morning . I'm sure the rest of the Blacksmiths from Australia & around the world who contributed to the Tree Project would love to see them . Dale Russell
