This event is in the planning stage. There will additions and changes.
Want to something new?
Josh Greenwood rarely demonstrates and this will be one of those rare chances to see him at work.
He will be demonstrating techniques that took years to develop.
He will also be using a new tool invented by Jock Dempsey that makes the techniques much less tool intensive.
Jock Dempsey, the anvilfire guru, will demonstrate efficient methods of making a traditional railing with simple machine tools and other machine techniques that apply to the blacksmith shop.

Our location is central to at least 3 vineyards with tasting rooms within a 20 mile radius.
