tech413 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Welcome to another Canadian! Good to have you aboard. If you are looking for a guild, I would suggest joining OABA (Ontario Artist Blacksmith Association). I just sent in my check for joining. What city are you located near?? From my understanding, the meetings are held all over, but mostly near Toronto and surrounding area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Welcome aboard Joseph, glad to have ya. If you'll click "User CP" at the top of the page and edit your profile to show your location it'll make it easier to help you. Folk in your area can let you know about get togethers, tool deals and lend a hand directly. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammered Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 About time someone else from Southern Ontario made his way here. Welcome aboard! Where are you located? I would agree that you should make a point of joining OABA.....it's just full of great people just waiting to be met. We just finished having a meeting at Waldie's in Milton back in February.
