May 28, 201115 yr Took some pics of the first day of the Class Dave took us through it was nice working with alluminum for a change. https://picasaweb.google.com/LDWynn/2011ConferenceClassDay1MSForgeCouncil# The second day everyone was able to choose a piece of metal and do as they wanted, Dave was there to help us all along. We had the Wine and Cheese party, it looked like a pretty good turn out. We did an iron ib the hat, and there were a lot of items on the table. https://picasaweb.google.com/LDWynn/Day2OfClassWineAndCheeseParty2011# I am rushing through this cause I have got to get going. I will have more pics tonight.
May 28, 201115 yr Great coverage Lyle, I don't know how you get to do any work yourself with all the pictures you take and share with us . Thank you very much ! Dick
May 29, 201115 yr Author Here are some pics of Saturday. We did not have as big of a turn out as we would have liked, but we had a good time, good food, and a good auction. Today is the last day, Daniel and Chris will get some forging in today, and I will get a few more pics. https://picasaweb.google.com/LDWynn/MFCConference2011#
May 30, 201115 yr Author As all conferences must end here is the last day of the Yearly event. https://picasaweb.google.com/LDWynn/LastDayOfThe2011MFCConference# Dave made a few things this morning and I took some pics of him making a "vessel" and putting the black finish on it. Dave was a good speaker and is a true artist. His eye can see color variations, and textures a lot better than mine. I really enjoyed meeting him, and he is a good natured, appreciative, and patient man. We all had a good time. Tomorrow Daniel, Chris, Bryce, Brian, and I, will all get in a forge at the Ag Museum and see what all we can produce. This will be the last day Daniel and Chris will be here.
