Gang Striking
THIS is how it used to be done! When heavy forging was to be done a crew with sledge hammers did the job. Here a large head is being forged on an oversize spike. I have seen as many as 15 men striking on one piece. . .

Before and after the meet we played in the forge.
The evenings before and after this meet is where all the fun happens. . .
Here Dean is giving power hammer lessons after the meet.
Besides demos and lessons there was also tailgating and sales. Blacksmith Supply, Ingersol Rand Compressors and Klingspor Abrasives attended.
