Made it home from the conference. Brought home a 40lb swedge block, a 3.75 lb rounding hammer I made in a class given by Nathen Robertson, and a few other things. I will post some pic's after the wife gets them off her camera. Had a lot of fun and learned a lot.

Well it was great! For those of you who missed it Phil held court in power hammer row until 2 am Friday morning. There were great deomonstrations going during the day and a good time after hours in power hammer row. We had 3 Little Giants running 2 25's and a 50 that hit like thunder but was super controllable. The star of the show was the gas engine powered 25. There was combined had and power hammer forging and a cala(sp) lilly forged under the hammer by Phil. I think we are plannign on the same next year so come and play, oh yeah we had good food too with some stellar beans and grilled meat.

BAM is always a great time.
Cant say I had better beans anywhere.
Learned a few tricks from the two main demonstrators I watched plus picked up a couple more tips from Phil after hours.
Saw Phil do a few things under the hammer that most would have not thought possible (upsetting and punching)
Quite a few things went way too cheap at the auction
