PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE This was a special meeting for all who attended at the home and shop of James Howard.  I am sure I speak for all of us when we say “Thank you James, most sincerely.”  This was a special event for the club and we could do it again at other club member’s home. Would any of you consider it? As a group, we are polite, appreciative, flexible, neat and non-judgemental.  Why not give us a try?

MINUTES There were no minutes as such. James and his wife kept all of us entertained for the whole evening. James showed us his shop (which was impeccably organised). His wife Sallie gave our women a tour of the house.

This is a shot out the front window of James’s front room. Its shows the old world craftsmanship of the house and the lamp James made.

The four pictures above are of the garden area and all the people who showed up. The weather was perfect for the occasion and helped to make it a memorable night.

Above is James’s self-built forge. It was just as effective as he said.  After heating up a substantial steel bar to red heat, he can be seen hammering it in the picture above. There are many subtle design features that are critical to the proper operation of the forge. James has offered to help anyone build their own unit as well as find the parts needed.
