Hello,
            I am a member of a Blacksmithing Club called Southern Ohio
Forge & Anvil. Our meetings take place at the Miami County Fair Grounds in
Troy, Oh on the first Saturday of each month at 10:30 am til ???. (Most
times, but once in a while no one gets there until closer to noon.)
           We have a rather nice shop with multiple  (5 I think.) coal
forges and lots of advice. (if you want it or not. =o} )
           If you are interested  stop by and check us out.
Keep the anvils ringing.

Let me add a bit here; the SOFA meeting proper starts at 1pm with the
raffle and demonstration, and is usually over around 3pm.
(on "holiday weekends" the meeting is bumped back a week and in October
we're having a fiels trip instead of a meeting to allow the forges to cool
off a bit after Quad-State)

SOFA has "open forging" in the mornings before meeting and supplies
forges, tools, and coal.  Bring your own metal please.  Use of the 
triphammers is extremely restricted--check with one of the officers
of the club for details.

NOTE:  The Quad-State flyers will be coming out soon and I will
post the details as soon as I get mine!

Hmm. Arm-chair blacksmiths, I suppose.

I also am a member of SOFA but live in IN so I have only made it to
the fall conferences.  But they do put on a very good conference.
This year it'll be Sept. 28-29.

 How did you guess that one of my current projects is a reproduction
of a medieval iron chairs...and me being a S.O.F.A. member?
