Default Great lakes metalshaping '16

This year's meet will be Sept 10-11 and again will be held at Dagger tools. The format will be similar. I'll post a flyer soon.

In order to make payment arrangements easier we have added a link on the Dagger tools website located in the events tab.

Steve, I'm glad you're able to make our event.

Wow, we are only 4wks away from the 2nd Great lakes metalshaping event. This year we'll have more staff involved for instruction and some new bucks, which will allow completed projects for wall art. Get signed up since this the cheapest method of gathering experience!

This year we are enhancing our event format. In addition to the project area where metal shaping is done, we'll also have O/A welding, O/A aluminum, and power hammer area going simultaneously. This will allow folks to focus where they want.

We have a lot of equipment to work with:
4-5 English wheels
2-3 power hammers
2 planishing hammers
Unlimited hammers,bags, stations, snips, etc.!

We are only 2weeks away and still have some spots available. If you can only make it 1 day, it's still a bargain! The same stuff happens both days.

Along with a small amount of project based shaping going on, we'll be doing demonstrations of metalwork. These demos will include types of hammers use for varying shapes, tuck and stump shrinking, edge tipping for fusion welding and plan of attack for shaping a panel. We'll have a wheel setup with a rubber tire for gentle bending. So, it's not requirement to make something, it's an opportunity to learn something.

We're only 2 days away, I'm so exited to see old friends and meet some new ones! If you have time, stop by, walk-ins are always welcome. We'll probably have enough food.
