CBA Oktoberfest weekend with my girls
Posted Under: blacksmith
I spent last weekend with my friends and family at the California Blacksmith Ass. Oktoberfest. We had a great time talking shop, drinking, eating, sitting by the fire and forging metal. I love this group of people. I’m glad to see as I grow older there is still a place for my daughter to camp and play with a group of people just like when I was a kid. DIY is how you get things done for most of these smiths. Thanks!

I’ve taken the trilobite to Burning Man, Handcar Regatta with lots of kids, but CBA blacksmith’s were by far the most play hard group of all.
Andy was our demonstrator for the weekend and put us all to shame with his hard work despite our attempts to calm him with our home brewed concoctions.
