Hey guys, since the American Bladesmith Expo. in San Antonio TX. is going to be judging MS and JS in 2012 is there a school closer then Old Washington Ark. I've been there once for a hammer-in, but from Austin its about 7 hr. drive. If I could find a place close to here that would be great, and I could knock off a year. Also if you guys know of any JS or MS in my area or where to find these guys let me know

Thanks

Dana

We only had one school for 30 years but now have three schools. It is a lot of work to operate the three existing schools in Arkansas, North Carolina, and Maine and we have students coming in from not only all parts of the USA but many other countries around the world.

Please check the list of MS and JS that I have posted on the ABS Website. You can see their city and State to locate and contact the members near you.

You are welcome and you may also want to try and organize monthly meetings of bladesmiths in your area as many have done in other areas of the country. You could post a topic about it on the ABS Forum.

Just an idea...
