HABA Houston Area Blacksmith's Association that'll tell you everything you need to know about it. Son Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texassmith11 Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Whitebear, I'm in San Angelo, so houston isn't really an option for me yet, but thanks for the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitebear Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 forge fest isin't in houston. it's in oldenburg. which is about 2 hours due east of you. i'm gongi to be driving for at least 3.5 hours. i think it would be worth it to make the trip. this is where i met my apprentice years ago. it the long rin. it's not that bad of a drive (aspeccially with the pretty country all around) and you'de learn so much useful information.

Thomas Dean Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Just a small correction....San ANGELO is about 5 HOURS from Oldenburg, not 3 hrs. I think you are refering to San ANTONIO. I hope to make the little trip next year. I'm headed to Perry, OK next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Dean Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Jest a tad bit north of you. Actually we live between Longview and Hallsville, TX., about 4hrs north of Houston. My Dad's folk are all from Conroe, Cut-n-Shoot, Willis, Montgomery County. We spent many July 4ths there for family reunions. Some of my fondest memories are from that area. My favorite uncle worked at Houston Light and Power for YEARS. Another uncleworked at one of the tractor dealerships in Conroe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
