I will be having a hammer in at my shop to
assemble the ring project that we are donating to the auction. It will back at my shop in the
5th of April and will be an all day event all are welcome to attend. I will have some blank
rings on hand if someone wants to decorate one, or has a device to decorate one with they
can bring it and assemble it there. Bring your favorite hammer I will have gas and coal
forged as well as anvils to work on.
