On 7th April, Willy, myself and many others will meet at the Industriemuseum Ennepetal again for the first Hammer-In of the season. There will be a historical automobile show, a crucible demonstration, handmade cake, sausage, bread and coffee alike, friendly people, and we will do demos of blacksmithing, knifemaking and history of iron culture in the region. Might be I´ll have a go at the "Knopmetz" project.
If you are around, you are welcome to pay us a visit!
