Michael Spaulding Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hey, folks I'm new to blacksmithing, located within the MN Metro, and looking to meet people of the craft.I know this subforum has been inactive a few years, but hopefully that doesn't mean it's dead! If there's nothing planned for this spring/summer, is there anyone interested in getting something put together?Even if we don't get more than a dozen people to show up, I'd love to just pick someone's brain and talk shop. Take care! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Welcome aboard Michael, glad to have you. If you'll put your general location in the header you'll be surprised how many of the IFI gang live within visiting distance. UMBA is active in your area, heck all over the Upper Mid West.I'm thinking the next BIG event in the Upper Mid West is going to be spring thaw, what we call breakup in Alaska and the term might fit the season there this year too. Ice going out on rivers can be a pretty DARNED exciting event you know. I have a close and dear metal head friend lives in the Elk River area, PM me and we'll see about putting you in contact.Frosty The Lucky.
