Looking forward to stopping by the blacksmith exhibit this fall at the 2019 State Fair! It was at last year's display that I met Mr. Randy Stoltz, I believe. He encouraged me to continue to pursue my interest in learning the craft. My goal is to put the forge that I have been able to assemble to use by the time this year's fait rolls around. The slow speed that I have worked is my own fault. I didn't get my forge built or find this site until I had done a considerable amount of over analyzing. Anyhow, see you there!

I've been a member of the triangle (central raleigh/durham area) part of NCABANA for about 15 years.  Unless things have changed, we have monthly meetings at the shop at the state fair grounds in raleigh. on the second saturday of the month.  The state fair in Raleigh, this year, will be October 13-23

Lots of fun and a great bunch of men and lady-smiths.
