MOblacksmith0530 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I have found myself with a day to kill north of Nashville near the KY border on interstate 24 on the Sunday 30th of this month. Any smiths out there going to be around Sunday afternoon who wouldn't mind a little company? PM me with an address if you want some company.

01tundra Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Wish you were going to be a little closer to Nashville......I'd let (beg?) you to come teach me how to make leaves :D ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowpoke Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 You might try the Possom Trot forge group in Adams Tn I think they meet on the last Sunday of the month at the old school. Adams is a very small farming town North of I24 just south of Ky.on HY 41. They are a very fine group with a lot of good talent GOOD LUCK.

01tundra Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I can't thank you enough for spending your entire day off to help me out and teach me about forging. The only way I know to show my appreciation is to one day be able to pass what I learned on to someone else who's just getting started, I truly look forward to that day. We had a great day and I learned so much, I was even able to take notes any time I could sneak and put the hammer down :D . Let's see (I'm sure I'm forgetting some things) - But I learned about drawing, punching, swaging, metal treating, tool making, proper hammer techniques, forge welding (including drop tong), working as a striker, hammer prep & tool modifications, shop layout & considerations, metal identification, proper fire management, finishing, various leaf making techniques, and what working with a great mentor is like.......not bad for one (long) days' work!
