It’s almost time for the annual Great Basin Blacksmith Guild meeting at Blue Rose Forge. It’s gonna be a fun hammer-in. This year we are going to make flint and steel fire starters and small boxes to store and carry them in. There will be several forges and anvils setup to use making strikers or other projects you might want to work on. The cost will be $40 for GBBG members in good standing that includes O1 tool steel for the striker and an altoid box that will recycle into the box and as always access to my scrap pile and shop for other projects. If you have any empty altoid boxes please bring them we can use them if I run out. You may want an extra one to keep char-cloth or punkwood charcoal in. If you would just like to stop in and say hello and see what’s going on please do we would love to see you

The 2025 antique power show is over for another year. It’s always a little sad when I finish another show for the year but with a little luck I will be back at the Richard Erickson antique power show again next year. This is a little bit of what you missed if you didn’t make it up to the show
