BigCotton89 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Howdy y'all. I've been a member here on I forge iron for just short of one year now and have some how never made it to this section. Well I am currently a student at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee North Carolina and I am renting a space in a blacksmiths shop up here so I don't really get a lot done or very fast, so if you follow any of my post please bare with me on that. I am from Laurinburg NC out in the middle of nowhere and have a little brake rotor coal forge home setup that I have not had the chance to perfect as of yet and I am working on a waste oil forge at the moment. Any way... That's me and I'd love to meet some other smiths from the area so If y'all see this and find that you are in my general area, send me a message. Later folks!

NC Blacksmths meet around the state on a monthly basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCotton89 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 good to know Wayne. My only issue is distance. I'm a broke college student with no money for gas so maybe one day I'll make it out there but for now I'm stuck within 30 miles of Cullowhee.

WayneCoeArtistBlacksmith Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 You're only about 100 miles away. We get there on Friday afternoon, visit, drink our favorate beverage and generaly have a good time. You can camp in the shop (as I will do). Get up the next morning for more visiting until the meeting and demonstrations start about 9:00 or 9:30. Have lunch then have another demonstration. Head home, or wherever about 4:00.
