Foaming Mug is an ABANA member and gets their newsletter (which is really nice) already. Can anyone recomend another newsletter or trade publication for Blacksmithing? I would rather join a differant orginization and get a second newsletter from someone else. We don't need two of the same newsletter.

Try BABA, (British Artist Blacksmiths Association) they do a nice glossy job with international events and 'smiths featured.

Try joining your state blacksmithing organization. They probably publish a newsletter that would cover events in your area. :)

Join Blacksmith clubs in other states.

And most of the other affiliates post their newsletter on line....and that's free....of course ifn ya want a hard copy, well you can either print it or join the group.

Go to bamsite.org to see the Missouri blacksmith group newsletters, and links to a dozen others.

I heartily endorse the newsletters from both the BAM and the NWBA.

I am a BAM member so I of course recommend their site.

these links are to your state:
