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 (powder can method and laminated billets) with discussions on construction methods, clips on blades, discussion on mosaic damascus, Mokume, 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

may 2 and 3rd

If checking for hotel look in Bossier city close to I 20 and the river

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.
 
Hopefully I can make it Dan. I told Andy I'll be in Arkansas till May 1st for the Intro to Bladesmithing class. May stop by on the way down.

Alec, Sure hope you can make it. Maybe you can show off some of your new skills.
 
Thanks for the invite Dan! I do plan to be there with the newish portable forge in tow.

You had better show up Alec. Somebody needs to bring the adult supervision and maybe the ability to layout some handle pins.:D

Gonna be another good one. Looking forward to seeing everybody again.
 
On my way, Dan. It'll be great to put some faces to the people I've learned from on the forum.

What time do you plan on getting started on Saturday? It's about a 4 hour drive each way, so I'm not sure I can make it, but I'd love to find some Hammer In's to attend to make some new like minded friends and learn some new skills.
 
Would love to see that shop in action, but I wont be making it.
Two babys in diapers trumps all im afraid.

We get started about 9:00 in the morning but feel free to come when you can. Sorry you cant make it Heath. Maybe next one.
 
Hey Dan,
I'll be there bright and early. Missed the last couple of ones, looking forward to seeing everyone.
 
Well Southern Comfort, to round off the diverse type of folks who shall be here, you have the group of "REDNECK" covered quite well.
 
I've never been to one of these but I am going to try to make it out. I'd have to go out and back from Dallas on Saturday if I do so it's not a sure thing just yet. Thanks for the generous invite.

What, you would prefer drag queens and rappers ?
 
You might want to buy a new pair of "Keds" tennis shoes. When Joe reads that, you are going to need to be able to run faster and jump higher !!!
 
This is really shaping up to be a good one. Plan on having smoked chicken and sausage jambalaya with potato salad made by a gent from Baton rouge. Plenty of forges and anvils so everyone should be able to play. Plenty of parking in the field across from my house. Great group of knife makers are coming and promises to be a fun time.
