this is going to be an awesome days guys and gals.

i have to say the last hammer-in mace threw was one of the best i've been to. it was a great group and attendees and a great group of demonstrators.

please come down if you're local and do some hands on work. i'll be grinding knife and heat treating, i might think of another thing or two

does anyone have any requests for demos they would like to see??

I'll be in the area, but 2 weeks too late. Maybe next time.

Edit: But if one of you locals wants to sell me an anvil that would work.

 

[Michael J. Spangler]

i think chris mehegan will be there to do a jewelry demo or sorts. maybe casting or stone setting if we're lucky

 

[Dan Pierson]

I want photos! I can share the ton of photos i took today... but they're all of british cars, not blacksmithing >_< Though I did meet a blacksmith there who worked at a car restoration shop up in vermont =P

Wish I could've been there but but foster stole our keys and don't let us leave until we finish a knife

If you have never been to one of Mace's hammer-ins, you are missing out. What a great day. The Guilford Art Center has a great facility and Mace is the Grand Pubah of the smithy (he also puts on a pretty tasty lunch). Thank you to all the demonstrators, I picked up so much information, both from you and from my fellow participants. Of course, I did not have camera with me, so this never really happened....

 

[Mace]

Thanks to everyone who showed up! We had a great day!!!
I did manage to take some pics, but my computer is down right now....when I get it back I will post some.
Thanks to Mike, Jim, Barbara, and Lynett for some great demos!
Good times!!!
