teenylittlemetalguy Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 The tooling request is from our last meeting. No agenda for the next meeting but I am sure there will be some hammer time for all .Gonzo are you in anchorage or the valley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo1 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Yes, I live in north Anchorage. I need to talk to someone about some coke or good coal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I believe we talked on the phone a couple days ago. Yes?Welcome aboard Gonzo, glad to have you. If you'll put your general location in the header you might be surprised how many of the IFI gang live within visiting distance.Whew! That was close I almost forgot my customary welcome. I'd never live it down if I let an Alaskan get off without the location thing. Do you have my email address? Shoot me a line and I'll get you hooked up with the gang email connection.Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md11freighter Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 New on the board. I live close to the Tastee Freeze on the four corners (is there another open tastee freeze within 2000 miles?). I would be interested in coming to the meeting next week and learning a little about blacksmithing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a Tasteefreeze on the Kenai and one in the interior but no guarantee.If you have any kit please feel free to bring it. We're adjusting our demos to basics, we have a number of new folk.Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozenforge Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 What time does the meeting start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Things usually start moving around 9:00-9:30am. We usually do club business after lunch.I'm bringing the basic tools to make a T burner though it's not a burner clinic. I recently posted illustrated directions here and on the club email list. I'll run through it at Jims so guys can what's the tricky parts and how easy it really is.Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSW Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 If anyone there can do video and post it of your demo I'm sure many would appreciate it. If not this time, maybe next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not this time, maybe next time.Maybe we'll get someone to video the demo someday. I don't think anyone was shooting vids at all last Saturday. As disorganized as I was it wouldn't have been a very useful T burner making video, it came down to mostly basic metal shop craft Re. drill presses and precise placement.It was a good meeting though, 18 or more attending. We got a couple new members and a number of prospects.Several took their first lash at hot steel and hammers. Once the demos were over every anvil had folk making leaves with a more experienced member walking them through. Jim's wife made a big pot of her scrumptious chili and corn bread. I think word's getting out about her chili and upping our attendance. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
