Default Greetings from Amish Country (PA)

Hello to all from Lancaster County, PA. I was pleased to find a site dedicated to metal working. I have always been fascinated with the shaping of metal and have aquired some of the older (and better) tools from schools removing the metal working programs from the curriculum.

My father and I have a collection of antique trucks, tractors and Caterpillar crawlers. More projects than I will ever get to.

I have plans on taking a blacksmithing class that is held at the Rough & Tumble show grounds in Kinzers, PA sometime in the future.

Ken

Hi Ken and welcome.

My wife and I were just down there the first week of August. Stasburg has a great train museum and steam engine ride. Enjoy the site.
