Steve Gurzler has offered to host the November CDBA meeting at the Adirondack Folk School. For those of you who aren't familiar with The Folk School, it is located in Lake Luzerne, NY. They have a very nice blacksmithing area, with multiple forging stations, and I have been informed, this area is now heated! It's roughly an hour or so drive from albany, but it will be worth it. Please let me know if there is interest in this, so I may inform Steve of our acceptance of his gracious offer!

Our next meeting will be January 30th at the Normanskill Farm. Guest Demonstrator Charlie Flanagan will be showing us how forge a Chris' Cross. Also, Jim has a special treat for us, He will be Liquidating his vast collection of Blacksmithing T-Shirts too. Don't miss out on this one

Our September 26th meeting will be held at Mike Cataldo's Forge 1485 Groveners Corners Road Central Bridge, NY. There will be no demonstration, Mike will have several anvil/forge stations available for everyone to bring their projects, or start on a new one. There will be people to offer advice, or assist you with what ever you are working on. Noon to 4 Hope to see you there!

Our next meeting will be July 25th, we have not had anyone volunteer to do this months demo. Jim will not be attending this month, so I (Paul) will be doing something, perhaps a corkscrew, but I am open to suggestions. We are still looking for future demonstrators, so please let us know if you are interested.
