Open Forge and Potluck Free to Members Only
September 28 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
FREE MEMBERS ONLY
This event (our second) is open to all Guild members. There are eight forges available for us to use, and there is no lesson or agenda except to get some iron hot, hit it with a hammer, and hang out with fellow blacksmiths. There are sign ups that will guarantee you a forge space. If you just want to stop by and hang out, you are welcome to do so. If there’s space at a forge, have at it. This is an excellent opportunity to hang out with and learn from fellow smiths. Beginners are welcome to send Harvey or Peter an email with their topic of interest or problem you’re trying to solve, and we’ll do our best to have an answer and/or help available.
Members in charge: Harvey Steele hsteele@handeecleat.com, Peter Ellison peter@matrixrunner.net , Laurel Larkin
Manager: Harvey Steele: 239-671-8887
Safety Equipment: the usual for forging with coal: gloves, safety glasses, hearing protection, clothing of natural fiber with no cuffs or fraying, and leather boots or shoes.
