forgemaster Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Mr Aceman Braidwood is down south near canberra, not north. I'll see what can be done re accom, maybe stay with Drewy? I'll make enquiries. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewy Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 when is someone going to have a hammerin in my slack season???? November to may. then I can come!!!Iron Woody the Artist Blacksmiths go NSW have a meeting every month (2nd Sat) somewhere in NSW. Ironfest is in April, Sydney's airport is a comfortable train ride. Watch out for posts next year.Have booked accommodation tonight as there is a wedding in Braidwood that weekend and rooms are been booked fairly quickly . I Have booked Ron& myself into Braidwood country style B&B $100/night for a twin, booked in for Friday & Saturday night their phone number is 4842 2577 or mobile 0417 659635 ask for Mandy.Mr Aceman if your looking for courses on blacksmithing starting with all the basics principles , keep in mind quite a few members of the ABA of NSW run weekend courses. You would have had some tuition from Wayne Saunders at FIJ. Consider doing his weekend course and advancing your skills some more, anyway contact Nigel and he can point you in the right direction.Dale what's happened to "Get Hammered" nothing showing up on main page, get the admin to pull there finger!!!!!!!!

MrAceman Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Haha, got a bit confused there sorry, and thanks Phil for telling me! I told my dad about it and he said it would a great "bonding" moment :rolleyes: . But yeah it will be good. He also said we might camp up there for the night, so does anyone know somewhere we could set up a swag and tent close to Moonies? I think I should be good on accommodation, as long as we can find a clear patch of bush. Anyway hope to see you guys there again soon, Jakob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HJP Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yes Woody we could have one at my place but the first meeting wouldnt be called hammerin.. it would be called shovelin..or diggelin.. youknow why Woody......(for the uninitiated it s to dig the foundations for the 3wc. But seriously i have been thinking about it for a while to have a weekend or so for us Far Northerners let me know if anyone is interested i am on the AthertonTableland in Tolga . cheers Hans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forgemaster Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Jakob, Moon has a couple 100 hectares of bush to set up a camp in, thats what we all do. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAceman Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Haha, Beauty, thanks again Phil! Are there any events coming up before the Hammerin at Moonys? I thought there was going to be one this month in Kurri Kurri, but that may just be me.See you guys at the next meeting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOONY Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 hello to all - well only a few months till get hammered and we all should have great time i have the dies in the 1000 toner and a furnace set up next to it to forge some largish bits lolol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewy Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Mr Aceman Kurri Kurri at Phils has been and gone, fantastic day great roll up of around 25+(Phil would know numbers). next meeting is at Colin Drays place in Bellingen, followed by Will McGuire at Branxton, then Moonies. The ABA NSW finishes the year in November with a Xmas party in the Port Mcquaire area at Graham Moyses place. For me and Ron living in Tamworth every meeting venue is about a four hour journey, you have to be prepared to travel to get the benefits of the knowledge and companionship of like minded blacksmiths.

MrAceman Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Alright Drewy, thanks! I knew there was something happening this month, though i knew i couldn't go unfortunately due to excessive amounts of homework, soccer and Airforce cadets which I recently joined. The CO at the Cadets actually come from Bellingen, might have to give him a call! Can't wait to see some smithing again, its been a while, hope to learn some great things! Will be seeing you guys soon, god willing! Jakob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forgemaster Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Hey moon you need to take that pressure guage off the press so as you don't get distracted again looking at it instead of what is getting forged. Just saying. There was 33 people plus at my workshop 'do". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forgemaster Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 yeh Moon is getting some toys ready, he rings me every other day to tell me how its going or to pick my brain about something, its a tough job but someone has to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOC Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 MrAceman, is this the George Davidson you meant? ;) '' target='_blank'>> How was Millthorpe Museum's 'Hands on Day'? or did you really did mean 'FrostFest' ! http://www.millthorpemuseum.com/past-events.html I hoped to attend their open day, maybe next February- I know two of the volunteers. ciao, AndrewOC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAceman Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Ha-ha, no sorry that's not him, he is probably about 300-400 years younger :lol:. Apart from the age difference though, the day was really good, he is great guy and showed me a thing or two about twists and stuff. He even offered to sell me an anvil and some tongs to help me get started and I will probably take him up on it if I don't get this anvil I am watching on E-bay. It is 730mm long and its going for a very doable price right now. Now that Have told you about please don't steal it from me ;) .

MOONY Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 lolo, to find u brain or pick it lololo we are all mad , obnly i think you might be more madder than I but thats debatable , well the swing crane works a treat and the furnace near the big press is there but i not built a crane over it yet and i hope to take the old steamy down to front gate this week coming i am doing some re adjusting things around in the work shop but same sort of set up with large forge table and othere bits look forward to all attending get hammered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgemaster Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Looking forward to hammered too brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAceman Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 well the Anvil sold for $511, bit disappointing for me but that means that I can help a blacksmith out with a lil extra moola! See you guys soon, seems to be coming up fast! Jakob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
