Desert Rat Forge Demo
January 21

Location: Desert Rat Forge

Gates open 8am.  Demo starts at 9am

Registration: $10 for members, $15 for non-members

Blacksmith in a Box:
Dief recently moved his shop to this beautiful somewhat hidden desert location
His shop is based out of a 20ft cargo container.  Everything is designed around the container to make his next move easier.

Dief's projects have ranged from small coat hooks, to a 95ft pedestrian bridge and just about everything in between.

Stuff to be demoed include:
Fish swimming in kelp sculpture
Cool things you can do with old horseshoes
How to attach your iron work to rocks/cement (you'll never have heavy gates coming loose from cinder block walls again)
Nifty tricks for cabinet & door pulls
RR spike sun wall hanging
Jigs for power hammer and flypress

• Lunch is on your own - Cave Creek has many great cool funky eateries
• Tailgaters welcome
• Bring Iron-In-the-Hat and Show and Tell items

Remember Iron In the Hat
Thanks to all of you who have participated in Iron In The Hat. By purchasing tickets and donating items, you help support AABA events and projects. Items for donation can be a tool, piece of art, something you don’t utilize in your shop, a great book, t-shirt, hat… something an AABA member would enjoy.  Thanks for your continued support.

What?  There's more!
Plan to spend the night.  Dry camping is available.  We'll sit around the fire and tell lies - I mean stories.  Sunday morning we'll have a pancake breakfast followed by a hike in the Spur Cross Conservation Area to a beautiful riparian area.
