Today I'm going to share a few tips and tricks I've found in various blacksmith association newsletters.  I'm not sure how many of you are ABANA members and receive the Hammers Blow quarterly Journal, I do and The current editor is, Dan Nauman, wrote a small article titled Picture That about photography, mainly photographing your work.  In my local blacksmith association newsletter, Forge Facts from the Rocky Mountain Smiths, I saw a great tip on riveting I want to share which came from Dorothy Stiegler, a blacksmith out of California. And then from the Appalachian Blacksmiths Association newsletter of December 2012, there was a quick snippet about penetrating oils and testing done on frozen, rusted nuts on bolts. 

What We Talked About

  • Hammer's Blow, Volume 26 #1 article written by Dan Nauman titled "Picture That". This addresses the importance of having good portfolio pictures early on in your career, even if you are a hobbyist.
  • Riveting tips from Dorothy Steigler
  • Penetrating Oils test from the Appalachian Blacksmiths Association newsletter of December 2012
