This years featured demonstrator will be Jim Batson (former chairman of the board of the ABS). Event will take place March 8th and 9th 2003 at Lonesome Pine Forge (Larry Harley's). Saturday's lunch will be provided and prepared by Jim Prill. Cost of the event is $50.00, limited to the first forty-(40) participants. Pre-registration is required. For more information or to register, contact Larry Harley by clicking here.

This event will be geared toward a small informal gathering rather than a large hammer-in filled with nothing but demonstrations.


While the official dates are 8th and 9th, on Friday Len Landrum will demonstrate the proper way to heat treat 52100 and James Gibson will demo how to forge a blade to shape.


Some time during the weekend James will also demo flint knapping.


I am asking all participants to bring projects you are working on and I’m also asking that you bring something that didn't quite workout or something you are having trouble with or questions about.


This should facilitate the leaning experience.


We will also have an iron in the hat Sat. afternoon. Please bring something for the iron in the hat.


I will have several forging stations set up so that participants will have the opportunity for hands-on after demos. Please bring your own steel.


There are several cheap no-tell motels close by and I will also provide limited camping for those who wish it.


There’s been a rumor floating around that there are several pickers and players showing up. If you play an instrument, please feel free to bring it and pick with us.
