[TheForge] Blacksmiths in Milwaukee

Tue Jul 15 09:36:00 2003

Could some smiths in Milwaukee and surrounding area please contact me?

Last year at an SCA (read: Medeival) Event in July, I met a young man (14)
who thought that smithing was really cool.  He watched and participated all
3 days I was there.  This year, he showed up with his own forge, anvil, and
tongs and worked harder than most adults and did some excellent twists and
bends in shepard's hooks.  I am sending him a reading list (Bealer, Weygers,
Edge of the Anvil, etc.)and I want to put him in contact with other smiths
near him.  The Guild of Metalsmiths is up here in MN.  What's the ABANA
affiliate down there?  Who are the contacts?  When are your meetings? etc?
etc?etc?
