    I will bring my high speed grinder we keep by the back door, a few hammers, and tongs. I bring a few other things to weld up too. Oh ya, my 110v wire welder. Gotta make sure i have some flux core wire around. Bottle rent was stacking up so i returned it about a year ago.

    I will bring my grinder {if I can get it out of the stack of winter storage...} and my forge along with some propane.

    We probably don't need another forge but I have some work to do on it and would like some advice/opinions.

    Mebbe the flux core will cause issues in forging. I have an owner bottle of Argon/Co2 mix here....

    It shouldn't. Any tack welds should be on the outside of the billet and small. Usually they either burn off as scale, or they stick to one of the ends that have to be cut off anyway.

    Some random thoughts about the meet if you have not been before.

    It is a chaos of sorts, no plans or organization.

    Expectations, Most people will not finish a razor at the meet, only a few have walked away with a finished razor. Hopefully you will have a good time in the shop and learn a lot of concepts, bang hot steel, and grind away.

    It is just a bunch of razor geeks hanging out, pitching in, and doing what we can, and trying to be safe and have a good time.

    The weather can be crappy, we have lucked out every year with the weather, I hope this year continues the good weather trend.

    The shop is not heated so it can get chilly, bring warm clothes and shoes.
