SUMMARY:TGoM August 2023 Membership Meeting
DESCRIPTION:August 9 Guild Meeting/Corn Roast/Hog Roast\n—Prepared and submitted by meeting champion Herb Fick \n  \n\nThe Venue: The Pate Estate. ( I like the alliteration) 35730 Highway 56 Blvd\, Dennison MN 55018\nThe Hosts: LuAnn and Dan Pate. This might be the seventeenth time we have been there.\nThe Date: Second Wednesday in August. (August 9)\nThe Time: Serving at 6:30 pm. Business meeting following dinner (brief). Activities start about 8 AM.\n\nVolunteers and curious people start showing up before nine o’clock. Lunch is on your own. Sometimes \nit just doesn’t even happen. Sometimes it is at a bar in Randolph\, Cannon Falls or Dennison. \nThe Demo:\nHerb has not obtained a demonstrator yet. Herb has in the recent past talked to Seth Merritt and Brendan Stevens to demonstrate\, attempting to showcase the young talent we have. (Note that people have rarely walked away from these demonstrations.) Herb is looking for a bit of guidance on this to see if this is a durable concept. We have also had vendors like Hossfeld the last couple of years. Those demonstrations also got a lot of attention. \nMyron has offered a smithing station that will be available for the demonstrators and for teaching experience from noon on. Dan will have tools you have never dreamed of (Dan always has something new to share). \nThe Menu:\nThe menu is a lot like last years because no one has offered an alternative. \nRoger Degner is our new corn roast maven and will be keeping a watchful eye on the process! Thank you\, Roger! I suspect Dick Carlson helps in some way; he just doesn’t take credit for it.. \nHerb offered the protein (Still pork\, and if you ask nicely\, chicken). Jim and Gary and perhaps Seth and one or two others will bail out Herb\, who is always a bit over extended with the pig part of the deal. \nVegetables\, sweets\, drinks and interesting stuff like pickled pike bits seem to reliably show up. That is the responsibility of the members for a normal potluck\, except this is not really normal. Remember\, Dick Carlson started this\, and we need to keep it going. \nThe Purpose\nThis is also a good night to bring family and friends. It helps explain why our kind of people gather together. A lot has been going on\, so show-and-tell should be really good and difficult to keep moving along. The corn roast started out as “Family Night.” \nHere is the pitch for the help that it takes in addition to the stellar and consistent efforts put in by the Gavin crew for the meal. People who come early (like 8 AM to noon) have the option to help clean up the Pate estate and enjoy the comradery of the sort of folk who enjoy contributing to the pleasure of the evening. Others learn to handle exotic cars while moving them out of our way. For years we have enjoyed this venue and for years while cleaning up the next day I have asked Dan “How about doing this again?” And Dan says “Yes\, let’s.” \nPeople: Take note of this last paragraph…\nI have used it for several years in a row with amazing results. There seems to always be an adequate assortment of tools for improving the landscape\, and time to remain well acquainted with members. People might want to bring their own. I really need more than a few people to step up. Particularly\, we need people if the weather looks threatening. Dan has invested in a large party tent that takes some effort to assemble. We will not use it if the weather is good\, but it will save the day if it rains. (That has happened once.) We have always managed to leave the Pate estate looking pretty good. \nPlease contact me about your willingness to help. Best to call my cell because I expect to see Northern Minnesota\, Montana\, Wyoming\, Idaho and South Dakota between now and then. (507 649 1611) \nSo far\, there are no tricks on the route to Dan’s. Highway 56 and 357th street. Dennison MN. The road is patrolled. \n

SUMMARY:June 2023 Membership Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Education and Program Committees extend an invitation to a trial…\nSaturday General Membership All-Day Event\nSaturday\, June 17th\nThis event will coincide with the June NOWTHEN HAMMER-IN on June 16 and 17.\nWe invite you to the Nowthen Historical Power Association show grounds: 7415 Old Viking Blvd\, Nowthen MN (north of Anoka/Ramsey)  (map below)\nThe day’s schedule:\nYou may arrive any time on Saturday morning. There will be smiths working in the shop all day making fun and beautiful forgings and you can watch or possibly assist. There will be a short business meeting conducted by our President\, Larry Wasmund at around 11:00 a.m. This meeting will last 25-20 minutes and will be followed by a potluck meal.  \nAt 1:30 there will be a group of our blacksmiths competing in a blind forging contest. No\, they are not blindfolded but they won’t know until they are done if they forged the proper item. They must reach into an enclosed box and without seeing the item\, using only one hand\, determine the shape/item/ textures\, etc. and then forge the item with the piece of stock provided. The closest forging to the original will receive special recognition. There will be forging on at least 5 stations all day long. \nEnjoy the day socializing with members and friends or watch the forging and ask questions. Stay as late as you want or until things wind up for the night. \nTaste of Blacksmithing Sessions\nAs a special offering there will be a portable shop trailer on-site and you may be able to get a TASTE OF BLACKSMITHING with hands-on demonstration. This is available to anyone who attends\, but minor children must be accompanied by their parent. There will be no cost for this “Taste” event that is about 30 minutes long\, and you will take your forging with you. Space will be limited for this event so registration and time must be reserved at the trailer that morning. \nCome on– get your hands dirty! What to bring…\nAnyone is welcome to bring their tools to forge for awhile on one of the five stations existing in the blacksmith building\, or bring your own forge and anvil and set up outside for the day. \nThis will be a family-friendly event. Alcohol in moderation is allowed on the grounds. BYOB and beverages for your family and a dish to pass for the noon potluck. Water and possibly lemonade will be provided at the meal. \nWe look forward to seeing many or all of you there!\nMap to Nowthen MN \n

DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Sara Gries \nClass size: Maximum students: 8 Minimum students: 6\nLocation: Guilded Salvage Antiques\, 4430 Lyndale Avenue North\, Minneapolis\, MN 55412\nDescription: Sara Gries will share what she’s learned from years of exploring/experimenting with brass and copper\, specifically for this class the decorative potential of various processes: etching\, creating patina (coloring) by means of chemical or heat reaction (“flame colouring”)\, plating and removal/abrasion. In addition\, she will share tips for design (how to transfer your idea to the metal\, how to make curves and fine areas appear visually smooth and balanced) and will demonstrate the practical application of cutting\, piercing\, and contouring techniques.\nThis is not a project class\, but you’ll have several “samplers” to take home as you\, too\, explore the potential to apply these techniques to your jewelry\, knife-making\, tinwork\, or copper smithing. There are no pre-requisite of skills for this class. Just bring your curiosity and safety glasses. We’d like to limit it this first time to adults\, as chemicals and a micro-torch will be used for a few techniques.\nTools and Equipment or other items participants are to bring to the class: None\nSafety Equipment: Safety glasses\nLunch Arrangements: Please bring your own\nAcceptance will be based on the postmark date of the tuition check and membership status — Guild members have priority for registration—and will be confirmed by a letter.\nTo register for this class\, send a check for $70 written to The Guild of Metalsmiths\, along with your phone number and email address\, to:\nChristina Dodge christina.guildmbr@gmail.com\n17645 Baugh St NW\nRamsey\, MN 55303\nAcceptance priority for this class will be determined by postmark.

SUMMARY:Handled Struck Tools Workshop 2022
DESCRIPTION:Handled Struck Tools Workshop Featuring Jesse and Dave Gavin.\nPrepare your own working tools with an introduction to the preparation and heat treatment of a popular tool steel.   \nThe tools made will be punches with a wire handle and chisels with a wire handle.  We will offer the option to use treadle hammers supplied by the teaching staff. (Find out if you really need one of these by trying them.) Tools for the treadle hammers will be supplied. Steel supplied will be 5/8 and 3/4 inch round 4140 AN for the punches and chisels. Handles will be fabricated from 1/4 and or 5/16 inch round mild steel. \nThe instructor’s goal for the workshop is to produce students comfortable with the process of forging and heat treating tools from nominal tool steel.  A secondary goal is to have the students comfortable with the use of treadle hammers.  We expect to have three treadle hammers of different styles available. We forge in the morning\, heat treat and install handles after lunch. \nMuch of the time is spent focusing on understanding the heat treat process.  There will be enough stock so we can encourage you to make a couple of serious mistakes and still go home with real tools to use or to offer for the next “iron in the hat”.  The photo represents the work product. \nPower grinders are supplied.  Bring your favorite hammers and tongs suitable for the stock if you have them.  So far we have never run out of Guild tools to share.   Bring your basic safety gear (leather\, cotton\, gloves\, eye and ear protection and safety shoes). The building will be open by 8 am\, introductions and coffee will start at 8:30\, in the shop by 9 AM.  We usually finish just before 5 pm. \nHistory: The lead instructor is Jesse Gavin. He is supported by Dave Gavin\, Wayne Olson\, and others. For reference\, probable students are invited to question former students including: Gene Thoma\, Bryan Carlson\,  Derrick Phillips\, Wayne Olson\, Jim Moenck\, or Bob Brown. \nTo register put your name\, phone number\, email and residential address on piece of paper\, fold it up with a check for $85 written to “Guild of Metalsmiths” and forward to Herb Fick\, who will manage the class. Minimum of six students.  Maximum is eight. This class has been going annually for quite a while and has always filled.  Credit for that goes to Jesse and Dave. \nHerb Fick\n519 East Eighth Street\nNorthfield MN 55057-2508\n507 663 0569 or 507 649 1611 (cell)\nherb@phyque.com \nAcceptance will be prioritized by postmark date.

SUMMARY:Saint Clement's Feast Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Not sure what to do in the gap between The Madness and the Christmas party?\nCome Celebrate St. Clement’s Feast Day with Beer and Blacksmiths!\nObserved On Saturday\, 19 November 2022\nHosted by Torg Brewery and The Guild of Metalsmiths\nSt. Clement is (one of) the patron saint of blacksmiths and metalworkers. His feast day was a rare day off for these metal artisans when their toils at the forge was replaced by food and drink\, and the noise of the shop was replaced by the (one must assume off-tune) singing and toasting in pubs. Whether you are a smith or not\, come join us as we celebrate this heritage!\nWhere: 8421 University Avenue NE\, Spring Lake Park\, MN 55432\nWhen: The brewery is open 1PM to 11PM. Show up any time in there and look for blacksmiths. We should be easy to spot.\n· First drink is free for Guild members!\n· Bring potluck food/snacks suitable for a grazing Feast of St. Clement!\n· Bring show and tell items to impress your fellow Guilders and the non-smithing public!\n· Play Bocce Anvil (if I can repair them in time) and Pinch the Devil’s Nose!\n· If we are lucky Old Clem might even grace us with his presence!\nQuestions?
