primtechsmith Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 Not only can you get this great set of books by Bill, http://www.iforgeiron.com/store/90.html, but you can come and see his 2 day demo where he is going to cover a lot of this...the set is well worth the money. And the demo is going to be well worth the trip! Peyton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmercier Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Man, why do you have to be so far away from new england =D I'd make the trip down if I had spare vacation days to pad around the weekend and a place to pitch a tent, but unfortunately I dont.

primtechsmith Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 Just in case anyone was wondering there is a nice campground about 5 miles from Yesteryear Forge. Here is a link to their website: Welcome to the Amelia Family Campground Peyton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecart Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 If I didn't have a Thanksgiving trip to GA to think about, I'd be there for sure, and I'd do my best to win that anvil. Wouldn't know what to do with a real anvil though. The improvement from a Harbor Freight anvil to that thing is beyond compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primtechsmith Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Well...we are less than a week away from a great opportunity for anyone interested to come spend the day seeing Bill demo. And possibly win a 500# anvil!!!!! Blacksmith Supply will NOT be showing up. John had something unexpected pop up and he will be on the road for his other job...but that does not mean you can't buy it from his site: Blacksmith Supply More info on: Blacksmith Guild of Viriginia - Home Hope some of ya'll can make it out there! Mike's shop is worth the trip in itself no matter the demonstrator. But Bill sure is a great reason to come on over!!!!!!! Peyton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
