infinityblacksmithing Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Since alot of people have been asking about smiths around there areas lately, I thought I would too. I'm in Brantford, Ontario. Wondering if there are many smiths around southern ontario that might be up for getting together for a forging day. Lets see what we could come up with.

infinityblacksmithing Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 I've got my check in the mail to become a member, but it seems alot of the upcoming meetings are out of the way. Hopefully there will be some coming down this way soon. I saw that I missed one in Ancaster back in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll also find John Newman in Hmailton as well - long experienced smith, seller of fine smithing tools and all around good guy. There's an OABA forum on IFI that I asked Glenn to create for us last year. I haven't had much time to keep on it lately, I usually post the OABA meetings that are coming up and we've had some brief discussions about local topics, but i would love to see our forum become more active - I say that as I am about to become completely unavailable until the fall. There's a number of us here in Southern Ontario and many who are not on IFI. I'd love to hook up with you and others at an OABA meeting sometime and talk more about group work days and stuff. Things to mark off on your calendar: Quad State - Sept 24-26, 2010 - in Ohio. Can-Iron 8 - July 28-Aug 1, 2011 - Fergus Ontario.

infinityblacksmithing Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 I think it sounds like a good idea to sort out some details about a group work day at an OABA meeting, it would be alot easier to work out that way. I've already got Quadstate and Can-Iron marked off. I've already met John too, bought one of his small swage blocks from him a couple weeks ago.
