Thanks Glenn! My name is Shane Hall and I'm currently the president of the Bonneville Forge Council (BFC). We primarily serve the Utah area but we also have members in Nevada, Wyoming and Idaho. We welcome anyone interested in the craft of blacksmithing to join one of our meetings or our annual fall conference. Check out our website, www.bfcsmiths.com Happy hammering!

Before the Iforgeiron.com website was updated there was a tab that linked you to "blue prints" (blacksmithing how-to articles). Does anyone know if these are still on the website somewhere or are they going to be posted back on this website anytime soon? Thanks.
