I will be hosting a Japanese Style smelt at my shop on December the 2nd (first Saturday in Dec)

The smelt will take roughly 10 hours to complete so I will plan on having food around dinner time (hambrugers and such)

I am starting around 9 am and the most interesting parts are the first 2 hours and the last 2 hours (go figure)

If I can arrange it I will get Dr. Mike Blue (an excellent smith who has been doing this style of smelting for many years) to come down and point out all the stuff I do wrong :-)

Any and all are welcome, but please let me know if you plan to attend so I can arrange food.

My shop will be open to tinkering and playing all day while I run the smelter and I hope to have my Hydralic Press up and running by then. So we could have some fun.
