Sam Falzone Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Hi guys, Sorry for the lateness of this post, but if you're not busy this Saturday the OABA meeting will be in milton and Waldie's Blacksmith shop. Hope to finally meet some of you. Sam FEBRUARY Saturday February 14 Waldie's Blacksmith Shop, Milton ON Forge welding - Lloyd Johnson and Mick Smith These two well known and experienced blacksmiths will demonstrate the basic principles of forge welding. Lloyd will illustrate the use of fluxes, Mick will work without. Llyod has asked that all those intending on participating / watching closely make sure they bring : GLASSES / leather aprons / gloves He is concerned for people who wear nylon winter jackets in the close confines of the Waldie forge area. As usual there will be a chili lunch available for those who wish to partake. Cost is $5.00 and all proceeds go to Waldie's Blacksmith Shop. Don't forget to bring something for Iron-in-the-Hat.

Sam Falzone Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 The meeting at Waldie's Forge in Milton was great - it was my first meeting and I'm looking forward to the next one I can attend. The demonstrations were great - I learned 2 different techniques for forge welding - with and without flux. Can't wait to try them. Also found out that Waldies's shop is available to OABA members who are also menbers of the Milton Historical Society who need shop space to work. The cost is about $20.00 for the day. Picked up a MHS application sheet and I'm sending it in with a cheque this week - I NEED SHOP SPACE OABA is a great organization - glad I joined.

Hammered Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I should have added that it was great to meet everyone. There were alot more names than I can keep track of though. It was a great turnout! FYI.....I tried Mick's version of forgewelding without flux yesterday. I made it work!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
