Special Blacksmithing Meeting Notice

May 5^th South East Oklahoma Area

The Saltfork Craftsmen ABA will hold a special one-day meeting on Saturday, May 5^th in Paris, TX at the shop of James Allcorn -- Bois D'Arc Forge Blacksmith Shop is located at 33 1st Street NE. Look for the red and white brick building. Note that 1st Street NE is a

one-way street running South.

The main purpose for this meeting is to see if there are enough S.E. Oklahoma / N.E. Texas people and interest in the Saltfork organization and blacksmithing to create a "Southeast Region" with regularly scheduled meetings on the first Saturday of the month.

Plan to arrive around 9 AM; a catered barbeque lunch will be served. Bring your portable gas or coal forge, tools, and scrap steel for a day of fun, hospitality, and fellowship. Tailgate sales of tools and equipment are encouraged.

The trade item is anything made from a horseshoe or part of a horseshoe.

If you are interested in blacksmithing but do not have smithing tools, join us anyway. We’ll find a forge and a mentor for you to connect with.

Let us know if you are planning to come to this meeting so that we can make the appropriate plans – such as enough lunch for all...
