Cosme Pena Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Hello all, I was wondering if there were any meetings for March 2017 ?. I would like to participate, and see what is going on in the Blacksmith world. I also spoke with Mark Couch, he suggested that I start here, and gather some info. Thanks.

metalmangeler Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I talked to Pat he said the meeting is at his place on the 25. This is where I normally send people who I come across, it would be nice if those in the know would put up this information. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 You're right Mark and I would but I just don't remember things. I haven't even thought about the meeting till seeing the question. Frosty The Lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalmangeler Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Somewhere I saw that there might not be a demo planned, I will bring stuff to make a set hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 That'd be great Mark. I don't think there is one planned but I may have just forgotten. Thanks, you're a life saver! Frosty The Lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Sure is. You know where Pat's studio is? Google "Arctic Fires Bronze" and it'll give you map, directions, etc. See you there. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosme Pena Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Hello Frosty, I wanted to thank you for inviting me to the meeting a few days ago. I didn't realize how many people are interested in blacksmithing. I know it was a lost art 20 years ago. I have notice the people that showed up were paying close attention to the demonstrations you were having. Once again thanks for the invite. Also, I wanted to thank Mar Couch, for putting on the demonstration, he did a great job. Cosme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 We were more than happy to have you attend Cosme, I hope you become thoroughly addicted to the craft and become a regular. The club has been going through a growth spurt the last couple years, Saturday's meeting has more attendees than the club roster had a few years back. There isn't a lot said about blacksmithing in the public eye so it seems to be a dying or lost art but it's far from it, even before the internet went public. The internet has made a huge difference though up to and including TV programs involving fire, hammers, sparks and sweaty people making the big time. If Mark doesn't respond here I'll pass along your thanks. He's a founding member and one of the main reasons the club exists. He goes by Metalmangler on Iforge. Thanks for coming to the meeting, see you at the next one. Frosty The Lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
