aerohydro Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hello all, I'm just getting into blacksmithing and am at the stage where I would benefit from being able to find some others interested in the craft in my area. Does anyone know of any groups in NSW? I ask here only because this is the only Australian group I have found online. Thanks, Leon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strine Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 What's this More Australians, welcome aboard folks. First there was a trickle then there was a flood. Leon there is anorher mob out around Tamworth, but I know nussing. You'ld have to perhaps pop in to a local pub or post office and ask around. There's another crowd in a suburb of Sydney called Melbourne at least that's what they'd have you believe They can be found atAustralian Blacksmiths Assocation (Vic) Incorporated - Welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackers Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Hey Leon, just wondering if any of the info. that's been posted so far, has been useful for you? We're all here to help. Are you aware of Alan Ball's Hot Iron Muster in Brisbane? It's comming up in September. I believe they are very good. A full week of blacksmithing! Way to go!

Crackers Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 G'day Ratel, The Hot Iron Muster is being held again this year from 28th. Sept.-Oct. 3rd. at Alan Ball's smithy in Logan Village Queensland. He is located about 50 km. south, south-east from Brisbane. I believe it is always well attended, although I haven't been lucky enough to attend one. Sunday the 28th. is a demonstration day, with the hands on workshop starting the next day, Monday. Alan normally has a well known smith from the U.S.A. lead the workshop. For more information, contact Alan Ball via their website. The Village Smith Hope this is of some help. Regards, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forgemaster Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Hi Cindy There is a bloke that lives out at Hickeys Creek/Torooka on the bellbrook road who is a member of ABANSW, pretty good smith too. I have a feeling that he also gives classes and lessons, if I can remember his name I'll post it, its on the tip of my tongue. Yes I have some local Macleay knowledge (went to school in Kempsey).
