Tbates Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Wondering if there is anyone from the Carrollton GA area who could help a beginner with some hands on learning. I'd be much obliged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneCoeArtistBlacksmith Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Plan to look into the Alex Bealer Blacksmith Association at www.alexbealer.org. They meet the third Saturday of each month in shops around the Atlanta Area. You will meet many blacksmiths, see a good demonstration and probably get lunch.

Nobody Special Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Alex Bealer group is meeting this Saturday in the a.m. at Mountain Park in Alpharetta. Open forge. I was invited to come play at somebody else's forge about 5 minutes into my first meeting. Very likely to meet someone near you, if not in Carollton.

BM454 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Choo Choo Forge in Chattanooga meets every Thursday and our monthly meeting is the first Thursday of each month. Don't know how close you are but, we'd be happy to have you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLMartin Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Alex Bealer is a great group! I started my forging off there. I miss the going to the meeting but I seem to always have work when they come up. I am out in Louisville Ga. A bit of a ways off but I am happy to open my shop up to people wanting to learn.

WayneCoeArtistBlacksmith Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Wow! lots of replies from ABBA members in a short time. Good to see that so many are on IFI and interested in their group and new forgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
