February 2, 200719 yr Hi People, I'am Larry I have been visiting your site quite a few times you guys really made some pretty neat stuff. There aren't any local smiths that I can find on the web or phone book. So really am excited to visit.
February 2, 200719 yr Larry, I also welcome you to the IFI. After reading your post, I did some homework. I found that you only live about 206 miles from me. I live in eastern Utah. At one time I belonged to a group of blacksmiths in Colorado. They are called the "Rocky Mountain Smiths”. The contact person (RMS – Editor) is Kalah May. Phone: 303-838-2619. Bailey Colorado. They are an excellent group of blacksmiths. As I remember, they held demos all around Colorado. I cannot travel much any more, so I don’t visit the demos. Be safe! Ted
March 2, 200719 yr Hi Larry. I noticed your location is clifton Co. while reading one of your posts tonite. Ted is right the Rocky mountain smiths is a decent group. Their main get together every year is in carbondale not to far from you. Last time I checked the cross Orchards living history museum on paterson Rd. had begining blacksmithing classes and maintained a smithy on site. Try checking there I'm sure they could point you to some local smiths, or more likely try to enlist you to do demo's. If You would like to gab feel free to give me a call @ 303-456-0102 the name is john. I usually get down to clifton several times a year , as most of my family lives there.
March 2, 200719 yr Rocky Mountain Smiths May 18-20, 2007 Tom Stengel will be hosting in his shop in Moab, Utah. Details to be announced. 119 mi (about 1 hour 53 mins) from Larry.
March 2, 200719 yr Larry, I have been to Toms shop. Just to walk around his shop is a treat. They do some good stuff at their meetings. I may try to go also. You may find the Moab, Utah area very interesting to visit also. Be Safe, be safe!
