The closest NC sub-group meets in Mooresville north of Charlotte second Sunday each month.
PSABG just met in Camden, I think that they meet in even numbered months somewhere different in the state each time.
Foothills of the Carolinas Blacksmith Guild is on facebook, they meet near Spartanburg once a month on Saturday.

I think I already said welcome aboard replying to your last post. However at the fear of repeating myself, putting your general location IN the header puts it where anybody reading a post by you can see it. Believe me we aren't going to remember where you are once we open another post.
If you scroll to the near bottom of the Iforge opening page you will come to the regional organizations section where you can browse till you find one close enough to you to hook up. You will learn more in a day with an experienced smith than you will in weeks or more learning on your own. It'll also hook you up to tools, equipment, materials, classes, work shops, demos, BBQs, etc.
Lots of blacksmiths in SC. LOTS.

I'll take a second look, but thought it said inactive ... also I appreciate the welcome!!!

Run the ball bearing test on it. If it passes then it's good and at a decent price. If it fails move on.
memoryplease refresh my memory .. the ball bearing test is?

I live in Spartanburg, SC and am looking at doing some hobby work in forging and casting. I've had 42+ years in Foundry Metallurgy ... from Al to Steels and green sand , no-bake to permanent mold. However, I've done only a little smithing and just built a mini forge to get back into thing. Going to Osteen's in Grenville to buy some coal.
