pamike Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Is there a blacksmith around the Dubois, PA area that would be willing to show a newb the basics? I know of a guy in Falls Creek that did some demos at the Sykesville Ag & Youth Fair but I don't know how to contact him. Any help would be greatly apreciated. Quote
Grundsau Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Hi pamike, you may want to consider joining PABA. That is the Pennsylvania Artist Blacksmith Association and is a nice group to get to know. You'll get some good networking thru them. Here is a link: PABA Home I'm in Berks Co which is a couple of hours from you. If you're ever going to be down my way, send an email and we'll try to hook up. Allen Quote
tomkearns Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Hey Mike, Jymm Hoffman is in Ambridge and is offering some weekend classes. Check out the PAABA site. Best Regards Tom Quote
David Einhorn Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I highly recommend taking a weekend course at: Blacksmith Guild of Central Maryland Quote
brucegodlesky Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Mike , at one time there was a group in around Punxy who offered classes . Quote
Dave Leppo Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Doug Firestone is highly skilled, and I believe teaches classes occasionaly. About two hours away from you, I believe. Home Quote

David Einhorn Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 You could also contact these folks, as they seem to be closer to you than PABA.
