[TheForge] Free Charcoal Making Class

[theforge@mailman.qth.net]

Greetings all. 

On May 4, 2002, Saturday, Hopewell Furnace in Elverson (Eastern) Pennsylvania 
will hold a free class on the manufacturing of charcoal. Participants will 
learn the craft of making charcoal using 19th-century methods.  The charcoal 
pile will be built but not burned until May 12, Mother's Day, when they also 
have a sheep shearing event.
