​Josh, Did you get the email that I sent out with the Welcome letter and Invitation to the 50th Anniversary Celebration? I am somewhat new at handling this myself, our secretary has to send the person in charge of sending out announcements the list of people to send them to, and our former person who did the announcements has handed that off to me. So, I am just making sure that it is working. Thanks, Bud LaMonica

I have really enjoyed this thread. Everyone has been spot on, and I would like to add that I think that the importance of what we do, exceeds the gratification that we individually get from practicing this craft. The skills of the blacksmith that are preserved in our knowledge and practice of the craft and promoted through teaching and collective exhibition at conferences ensures that the craft will live on. I too agree with many of you that I have never met a better group of folks than the ones I have meet through my blacksmithing journey.

Thank you Glenn. We will shortly have our websites modified with links back to iforgeiron.

Hello all, Please make palns to attend the Biannual 2013 Southern Blacksmithing conference in Madison, GA. details can be found at the following link: http://www.sbaconference.com This conference is always a good one.

Looking at the photos and compairing them to the ones in Anvils in America, i would agree that it could be a mousehole standard london Pattern. Could you post an absolute profile picture of it. The radius under horn on the moushole anvils seems to stand apart from some other london patterns from the photos that I have seen.

Just a safety note. You should always refer to an MSDS. Other than that, I think that anyone handling such materials should equip themselves with pH paper, and as noted before some soda ash or lime, kind of like a spill kit.
