Brasilikilt Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Hey there I'm up here in Portland, a few hours drive away and have a modest but functional forge setup (as long as the weather cooperates). I seem to remember hearing about some smithies on the coast...do some digging and I'm sure you'll run into them. Good luck and let me know if you ever head up this way Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Hi, I'm also located in Portland. There's more activity along the I-5 corridor than I'm aware of on the coast. There's a blacksmith shop in Gearhart, Or. just north of Seaside, Or. on hiway 101, run by John Emmerling one of the board members of the NWBA. Check out blacksmith.org (NWBA site) and snoop around and introduce yourself. I do some of my smithing at Ft. Vancouver National Historic site. We have a guild and are a seperate ABANA affiliate, although most of us belong to the NWBA also. Welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
