[TheForge] NWBA conference

[Howell Steve]

Just a reminder the NW B/S association is having it's spring meet April 25-27th. at the 
Columbia county fairgrounds in St. Helens, Oregon. The fairgrounds are just northwest of Portland.

Demonstrators this year are Terry Carson and Dick Sheppard. Demonstrations will include Dick's 'Big lick' treadle hammer techniques and Terry's traditional methods of joinery.
We'll also be starting a 'nail tree'; a german tradition of a journeyman smith leaving his mark on towns he visited. Everyone attending is asked to either bring a nail, or make one at 'Midnite Madness' to start the tradition.

As always; The tailgating section is the place to be. There will be lots of stuff this year, garon-teed.
