A site about blacksmithing. This the new website for the Blacksmith Association of Missouri (BAM).

NEW Training Dates are up on the MTS Page.

The theme for the 2026 BAM Conference will be: Forging the American Frontier

Planning for the 2026 BAM Conference has already started. If you would like to help with the conference, sponsor the conference, would like to demonstrate or would like to recommend a demonstrator get a hold of one of the BAM Officer’s and they will get in contact with the right person.

Please see the flyer here use the Conference Navigation Link. As more information becomes available for the 2026 BAM Conference it will be posted on the Conference Page.

Let’s welcome the new BAM President: Willy Bagley and new BAM Secretary: Paul Talaski.

The old site links and data will be removed on January 1, 2026. As stated before the old site will no longer be updated.

You can access the old site here: https://bamsite.org/index2,htm until the site is totally down. As stated above the old site will come down in sections, so you may not be able to get some sections as time goes on.

There are Pages on this site with Links that will take you away from the BAM website and to other places on the Internet which BAM has no control over.

If you find any Dead Links on the BAM website please contact the BAM Webmaster.
