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

The 2025 BAM Conference is in the books. It was by all accounts a success. Check back soon for pictures.

BAM would like to thank the sponsors, the demonstrators, all the volunteers and of course all the attendees. Everyone came together to produce another great conference.

Planning for the 2026 BAM Conference will begin shortly. 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.

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

The old site will be decommissioned by sections and will be completed by the end of July 2025. 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.
