May 11, 200917 yr This weekend is BGCM's annual Hammer-In on the grounds of the Carroll County Farm Museum in Westminster MD. On Friday, smiths from Colonial Williamsburg will be doing an iron smelt. If everything goes smoothly they should be pulling out the bloom in the late afternoon. Then on Saturday and Sunday, they will be making something from the iron bloom. Our other featured demonstrator is an ABS Master Bladesmith, J. Neilson. We will be raffeling off one of his knives. Also in the raffel is an incredibly awesome hand made BBQ grill that looks like a dragon lying on top of a pirate chest. (pictures on webpage) Late Saturday afternoon, there will be an auction of hand forged iron work. More details at the Guilds web page: Blacksmith Guild of Central Maryland (click on the picture of the knife on the home page to get to the Blacksmith Days page.)
