Short Notice Blue Ridge Hammer-In

well buddy (and this is for real) ill be out of town this weekend . going to mom and dads in S.C. . yall have fun boo

WEll, it's either going to be just Sammy and me, or we could do it the week of the Blade Show--Saturday, June 1, if it would be easier on ther rest of you. It's your call--I'll be around both weekends.

And whichever weekend we do it, I'd love some BBQ, Sammy.

My vote is for June 1, where is this knife show?


This is of course assuming that there is voting
Dan

im all for the 1st and the BBQ has my vote . let me know if i nead to bring anything. boo

You all know that good, aw what the hell just plain bbq is the crack cocain of the true south :cool:

If it's OK with Sammy, then we'll go with June 1. Same time, same place. If anyone needs directions, e-mail me, care of my website or ackerforge@yahoo.com

Keep checking here for details. If you have any suggestions for projects or whatever--list them.

THINGS TO BRING

Food and drinks always welcome.

Something to sit upon, if you're so inclined.

Charcoal--real wood charcoal, not the briquets used for bbq grills. Either you can make it, or someone said you can buy it at Walmart. On a good forging day, we go through a lot. If not, we use coal--works, just takes longer.

Trade goods--anything of knifemaking value --steel, brass, bronze copper, tools, knives, handle materials etc.

Good stories (true or not)

Cameras--especially digital ones for posting pictures on the net.

Tools--like your favorite hammers, cutters, tongs , etc., --whatever you like to work with.


Safety equipment--whatever you usually use--The Acker Forge is not responsible for injuries occurring because someone didn't take reasonable safety precautions. If you use it at home--bring it.

Other stuff to be added later.

Well how about it? We on for the first?

yup

Fine by me. I'll bring the BBQ with dip and slaw. Just need a guestamate on how many people and if your appatite counts for two. If you want to make sandwitchs can someone bring some buns?

how much cash to bring for food?

Dan

$1,000.00 minumum. Deed to your house, Rolex watches, good trucks, firearms, etc. work fine too, right Boo?

ok sammy i have an appetite for three and ill bring three or four packs of buns . and some chips. man i scored on some deer horns this morn. one is a big four point and will make three nice big bowies. twelve bucks for that one and i got a receipt. cant wait till sat , boo

I'm bringing some copper rod, a steel tube, and 2 bars of steel. How much cash to cover my share of the BBQ?

Dan

Uh, Dan, we don't get too technical on that sort of thing yet. Just bring whatever you think is fair and offer it to Sammy or whoever. So far we haven't been charging for food.

Sammy, if everybody shows up, we could have as many as 8 to 10 people, but I'd say a bare minimum of 5. I'll help chip in some on the cost as well.
