jmccustomknives Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Tannehill is a nice place, you should go during the bladesmithing symposium and the winter meeting. That being said, I let my membership go due to the fact our local chapter never met once. I guess somebody should new should have taken the lead. Most other chapters do meet regularly. Good luck.

lpayne1234 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Yea, I left messages for Mr. Hughes out of Tuscaloosa, Al to contact me and never got a call or reply. The guys at Tannehill were real helpful, they need to update the Tuscaloosa list, or have someone that is gonna return calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unforgivun Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Glenn Holmes is in charge at Tannehill (for the actual chapter of the Alabama Forge Council) James is the blacksmith for the park itself as it is a historical ironworks park. The group meets the 2nd sunday of each month behind the blacksmith shop where the big 500lb peter wright is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unforgivun Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Here are a few of the Cupola's in action. Pour didn't go well that night, they dropped the coals and redid it the next day. I was actually sitting inside the closet of the pour area lol, just trying to stay out of everyones way. Lee Mckee (another IFORGEIRON member) does most of the pours there. There is a pour on labor day weekend.
