I'm sure many of you are already aware of this event, but for those who aren't I thought I'd post a quick notice here as well.
The New Northeast Hammer-in, held in conjunction with The American Bladesmith Society, will be held July 21-22 at my home and shop here in Essex, Vermont. This gathering of bladesmiths, collectors and enthusiasts will fill a summer weekend in New England with bladesmithing demonstrations, discussions, and camaraderie, and will feature some of the leading contemporary artists and craftsmen in the world of forged knives.
Among the demonstrators we will have:
Burt Foster, ABS Master Smith from Bristol, Virginia
Dan Farr, ABS Journeyman Smith from Rochester, New York
Joe Szilaski, ABS Master Smith from Wappingers Falls, New York
Chris Kravitt of Treestump Leather, sheathmaker and master leatherworker
Jim Cooper of SharpByCoop, professional knife photographer
We will also have a green coal forging station set up for attendees to have a go at some hands-on work. Friend and fellow forumite Mace Vitale, JS will be on hand to teach, and Christoph Derringer, MS, will also be on hand to instruct. Perhaps I can also talk Nick Wheeler into helping out as well. Nick is flying out from Washington State to be here with us.
See the official program here
Also, Bader Grinders will be there with a few grinders and accessories. If you've been considering buying one of these grinders you'll be able to check them out in person and ask all the questions you want. Save on shipping too! If there's anything specific you'd like to look at or bring home with you, give them a call at (518) 753-4456 and I'm sure they'll be more than happy to accommodate you.
Essex, Vermont is located just outside of Burlington, about 20 minutes from the airport and just over 10 minutes from the highway (I-89). Montreal, Quebec is a 90 minute drive, Boston about three hours, and New York City is a five or six hours by car. Burlington International Airport accepts daily direct flights from Boston, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Atlanta, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Washington, DC.
Registration fees will be $89 per attendee, which includes all event functions as well as meals.
Attendance will be limited and there are only a few spots left so email or call me today if you wish to reserve a spot.
My email address is dickwulf[at]yahoo[dot]com, and my cell pone number is (802) 318-0704. Be sure to provide your full name and contact information if you wish to be added to the list.
