ThomasPowers Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Al; have you made it to any of the SWABA Southern Group meetings in Las Cruces NM? Good group of people down there and Pep Gomez is a great guy to work with! I'm up near Socorro NM; but get down to Las Cruces fairly often as my parents live there.

Thomas Dean Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Howdy from East TEXAS!! and welcome to IFI! Ditto what ThomasP said, I have meet with the SWABA group on several occasions and they are a fun, knowledgeable bunch of folks. Willing to help anyone daring to step off into the abiss called blacksmithing! Also will have to ditto what Frosty said about updating your profile. Some of us have 'oldtimers' and can't remember from post to post where a person is from, having your location given on each post will help us and help you as well. Once again, welcome and enjoy your stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
