Ken73 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Well, I started into blacksmithing 5 years ago and had to give it up before I ever really got going. Life has settled down and allowed me to get hammering and I'm really enjoying it so far! Just looking to learn and hopefully connect with some smiths in Michigan to learn even more.

Jeff Lodge Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Welcome Ken. There's a group from the Woldumar Nature Center in Lansing and they meet I believe the 4th Tuesday of the month either at someones shop or at the Blacksmith Shop on the nature center property in the warmer months. If you're interested in meeting up with them shoot me a PM and I'll get you in contact with one of the officers. Most of them are also MABA members.

Ken73 Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Thanks for the welcome! Thanks Jim. Will be mailing my application to the MABA tomorrow. I'm scheduled to work on the event days the next couple months but should be able to take a day off for the hammer in. Sounds like a good time! Jeff thanks for the info on that group. That's pretty close to me I'm definitely interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
