Having another Hammer Inn and all invited. It is at my house and I have a nice big shop and overhang where my power hammer, forge and press are and they will all be running. We like newbies, pros, collectors and just folks who enjoy knives. It is a Saturday and Sunday event and we will have some form of BBQ on Sat. with leftovers on Sunday. There will be forging demo's and Damascus making with discussions on construction methods, grinding and heat treating. Come one and all and do some hammering.
My address is
4887 Dixie Garden Loop
Shreveport, LA 71105
318-865-8166

April 26 and 27th

Have added an extension on the overhang where my power Hammer and forge are located and I aint scared of no rain.
Come one come all and feel free to bring friends.

The forge and power hammer will be running the whole time. I share my tools with everyone and let all get time with the forge and hammer.. Grinding demo, construction and anything about making a knife. Yes you and your buddies are welcome as is the pig. No cost. I do have a donation can to help cover my expenses of propane etc. and voluntary.
 
Hi Dan,

I'm afraid mu budget won't cover another trip to Louisiana right now, but I'll be thinking of you. Have a great time!

Dang! Wish I could make it! If only I didn't live 2000 miles away!
 
I meant I have a pig to BBQ, but I don't make knives, but would like to check out what your doin.
I live very near the Shreveport area.
 
I went to your last one the day after I decided to make knives. I didn't even know what to ask at that point, but now I've got 15 or so under my belt, and I would love to get some time on that hammer! See you soon!

Diamondshooter. Thats very generous and would love to grill a pig. I will have a very big grill here (on wheels) anyway. Bring all your buddies and look forward to seeing you.

Kyle, look forward to seeing you to and bring one of your knives.
 
See y'all there! Looking forward to seeing everybody again, even them dang Lewis boys. HEHEHE
 
I plan to be there. Looking forward to visiting all again and another great HI. Thanks for the invite Dan!
 
I'm down. I have a major upgrade at work on Friday so i might be a little late Saturday. But as long as no catastrophe happens I'll be there.
 
I'll try to be there on Saturday if I can keep my schedule clear. We'll see how well that works out...
 
Now that I live in Louisiana I would love to come to your hammerin Dan! Thanks for the invite, hopefully I will be free to make it up your way!
 
Matthew, Look forward to meeting you. Will be a lot of fun.
 
I will be there. No soccer that weekend. They're always fun. Diamond, you don't make knives now. You might before you leave the hammer in, though.
 
I've been looking forward to it since the last one but I'm not going to be able to make it. Post lots of pictures.
 
Damn, I hate to miss an opportunity to visit Dan and everybody. I am sure it will be a great time it always is. Happy hammering.
