John B Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) Blacksmithing day at Finch Foundry, Sticklepath Nr to Okehampton Devon Saturday November 22cnd. (9.30 0n ) Open Competition, no entry fee, make a trivet, no time specified, bacon butties and ale free for competitors, see blacksmiths working, a display, sales of ironwork, and a chance to see the waterwheel powered trip hammer working. Firing the anvil during the day and a Gurning competition at night in the local hostelry. A fun day out for all the family so come on you Cornish smiths, it's not that far away and you will meet other like minded people. Make yourself known, and let's know what you want to do at the iForge weekends at Westpoint Edited November 16, 2008 by John B Date added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Budd Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hello John, long time no see I was hoping to make it to Finches this year (not been for a few years) but I have a course on so I won't be able to get over sadly I might try and get over to the Devonshire in the evening to say hello maybe I hope the weather holds out and you all have a good day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I'll be up for the day. I may even be allowed to do it without the kids in tow.. Then again, maybe not... Shame you'll miss it Dave, it would have been nice to meet a fellow BBer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Budd Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 it's funny I had kept that weekend clear in my diary all year, but couldn't think why. Then I went and booked a student for the weekend as it was the only spare time I had before christmas! Oh well, next year ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
