wolfshieldrx Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 The wife and I are taking a little sightseeing trip to the Amish communities in Holmes County, Ohio next week. Been a couple of times before, but not for a few years. Usually we sight-see, eat too much and generally just relax for a few days. Anything in the vacinity a learning blacksmith should see? thanks...bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Dog Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 My wife and I frequently enjoy the visit to Holmes county. I have seen a couple of good anvils at what I thought fair prices in the antique stores there (imagine that!). I've gotten excellent deals on a few blacksmithing tools and a vise from antique stores there. Don't bother with all the billboards telling you to visit a working blacksmith shop (Wendell August), it's no longer there. Just various castings imported from somewhere else. Have a good time!

ThomasPowers Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Have you ever been to Lehman's in Kidron OH? A hardware/drygoods store specializing in non-electric goods for the Amish. Haven't been there for moer than a decade; but I heard they did a booming business during the Y2K silliness.
