  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Hey all,

Just took my first Blacksmithing course and now the fun begins. My summer project is to build a forge/weld shop out of a seacan that is right beside my garage. Can't burn that down...lol. HVAC mechanic by trade but has been awhile since "hands on".

Just purchased a coal firepot for $350. Next purchases; welder, anvil, belt grinder...and it does on and on :) (649).

I also plan to build a propane forge out of a woodstove and DIY tempering oven. All in is the only method I know...lol. Good thing my wife loves me.

MY door is always open.
 
Welcome from Oakville! My buddy has a small coal forge that I've played at a couple of times. Lots of fun even if I have zero talent or skill.

Where did you find a blacksmithing course?
