Recommended Posts

So I am a 18th century reenactor and want to start selling or trading some forged items but what should I make? 

Please send any pictures of what yall have made that would be 18th century correct..

You are in a great area for 18th century iron in NC. Take a look at Jerry Darnell's collection of class notes on 18th century iron from all the years that he has taught at John C Campbell Folkschool. You can buy it direct from Jerry. Check out his website at http://millcreekforge.com.

I think he is still teaching. If you are a member of NC ABANA, you could apply for a scholarship to take one of his classes.

Good luck,

Doug Wilson

I bought Jerry's book a while back. Great projects in there but its not step by step, More like a guideline, There's plenty of room for figuring stuff out as you work thru the projects.

Jerry Darnelle is still teaching at John C. Campbell Folk School every summer, and forging in his rambling studio every week. He does take students for classes in his studio, singly or small groups. Heckova nice guy.

campfire cook ware tends to sell well at those types of occasions.
