[Blacksmithing] AH! WE JUST WANT TO SMITH

[Andi Clemens]

Hello Folks, 

So, sadly if folks showed up last Wednesday I am very sorry the shop
closed without warning because the supervisor was unexpectedly ill. 

I thought that there was a notice posted to the listserv to let folks
know it was postponed, but I did not see it (maybe I just missed it and
you got it and we can all forget this) 

Regardless, 

I realize this set up a crappy precedent since it was the first email
you got from the Guild this semester....blacksmithing and computers do
not always go together very well..... 

We can do tool repairs and demos with anyone at Open Forge and will be
holding a brief demo tonight at 8pm but propane supplies are low. 

The message this is referencing: 

> Join us on Wednesday November 12th from 8-10pm in the Lemelson Center for Design 
> 
> for an interactive demonstration of how to perform repairs and upkeep of basic hand tools including tempering (to harden your tool edge) and annealing (another form of heat treatment using oil). 
> 
> Folks with Shop Safety Training whether they are club members or not are welcome to participate 
> 
> this may include: grinding, tempering and annealing one of our hand tools or a tool you have forged previously. 
> 
> People who are not do not have shop training are welcome to attend and hear/watch the demonstration but will not be able to participate in the hands on aspect.

hope to see you there, 

The Blacksmith's Guild
