Guru Attends Power Hammer School
Southern OH Forge and Anvil Quad State Roundup

B² Power Hammer School Mooresville, NC. AKA the Big BLU Power Hammer School invited me to take one of their 3 day classes in August.   Now. . . at this point in my non-blacksmithing, blacksmithing career I would not have taken this course except for the fact that this was a very generous offer. The school is run by Steve Barringer of B² Design and co-sponsored by Big BLU Hammer's who provides extra hammers for the school. All the hot steel you can forge and all the food you can eat for three days. What blacksmith could refuse?
