gewoon ik Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Very recentenly I discovered "Blacksmiths without Borders" as it is always mentioned in the club newsletter. They organise Treffs on zoom that you can follow live. It is mostly a presentation about a subject and afterwards there is a question section. On their webside (no idea if I can link, so just put their name in google and you will get a link. If you sign up to their newsletter, you get the invite links to their treffs so you can follow them live and participate in sometimes very interesting discussions. They also upload the treffs on youtube after recording. You can find them under Jungschmiede IFGS. The language is English, the older treffs used to be mainly in German (4years and older) because they grew out of the young blacksmiths in Germany. The subjects could be anything, from tips to improve your scrolls starting from the basics. But also case hardening or just an artist explaining his/her very special technique. The one thing they have in common is that the subjects are related to blacksmithing. Don't know if the rules allow me to place links, if so, I will place them.

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 The only links not allowed are ones with content that violates forum rules like language or are commercial sites selling something. The only blacksmith site not allowed per that sites owners is Anvilfire, if I remember correctly. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s.

Shainarue Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 (edited) I love the Blacksmiths Without Borders Treffs! The last one i was able to catch was over locksmithing. I think I've missed the last few. I've watched quite a few of the older ones they had posted. The entire thing is done by volunteers, so sometimes it takes a while (weeks, months) for the recording to show up. So if there's something on the schedule you're interested in, I highly recommend adding it to your calendar so you don't forget to tune in. Usually around lunch hour on Mondays for me (I'm in central time zone USA). Edited June 4 by Shainarue Time edit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shainarue Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 According to Google, Treff is the German word for "meeting", which makes sense since the organization originated in Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
