ianinsa Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I am going to be in Portland,OR (on my own and thus at a loose end)on the 17th of August and would be keen to visit a local smithy on that day. Is there someone willing to have me visit for the day? Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
