Just a note that Philip Simmons member Barry Myers, popped into Turley Forge Blacksmithing School for a visit July 3rd. Nice time; Southeast meets Southwest.

This year I went back to Charleston, South Carolina and visited the Philip Simmons house and shop. What an amazing guy who did so much with so little. As I toured Charleston, I specifically looked for his work which is throughout the city. When I was at the Turley Blacksmith School, I felt like I was learning about the old ways and the new. I wouldn't have been surprised if Mr Simmons walked through the door to work on a project. It had that feeling.

Alright! Barry is a Big contributor to the guild I think we're lucky to have him... hope he brings back some good Info!
and thanks for the update Frank!
