JHCC Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Sounds like a lot of fun -- I wish I could make it! Rochester Arc & Flame is a great facility, and Brian and Candy are great people. Anyone visiting the area should swing by and take a look, if only for the inspiration! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazer Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 We are very lucky to have it in the area. My first time hitting hot steel was at one of their sampler classes. It was all downhill (or perhaps uphill?) from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Breakfast lunch an dinner and an all day blacksmithing event for $40? That’s a heck of a bargain!

Scott NC Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I don't see the flyer Frazer. No way I could make it but I was just curious to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazer Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 Certain sections of my original post were (understandably) removed by the powers that be, including the flyer. I suppose one could consider it advertising in a certain sense and/or too much information in general. I'm not sure which, but I'm not complaining. I figure if folks are interested and would like more details they can send me a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latticino Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I'm bummed that I will have to miss it this year. Previously scheduled niece's engagement party out of town. Too bad they didn't announce it sooner as I would have passed on the party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just here to make castles! Latticino, I probably should have made a post sooner. It's been discussed at the last few meetings, but not necessarily at length. Your presence will be missed, but I'm sure your niece will be happy to celebrate with you. (Congrats to her by the way!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Frazer, well you make some pretty nice castles if I do say so myself! Lol id like to come, but I’m pretty sure I’d get lost somewhere between Peavine Oklahoma an New York State, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Your niece wouldn't be the first person to hold an engagement party at a blacksmith hammer in I'm sure. At least you're not on one of the farthest bits of the USA from the site. <sigh> Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latticino Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Frosty, I think that is a great idea. Too bad I'm getting it too late to change everyone else's plans . Agree, it is tough living out in the back beyond. I'm sure lucky with monthly hammer-ins only a 20 minute drive away and two additional ones only 2 or 3 hours away as well (not to mention four different good quality craft schools that teach blacksmithing within a days drive also).

Frosty Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 There was a trade off I made willingly when I decided to extend that vacation indefinitely. I grew up in LA county and had access to some of the coolest scrap yards and best sources on the planet. Just no elbow room, even on a large lot we couldn't do much without the neighbors approval. I am SOOOO looking forward to doing a little snow birding with Deb in the RV. Hopefully gas prices will come back to earth. Frosty The Lucky.
