Less than a month to go!
Gentlemen,
For the last two days I have been really interested in what Tim Zowada has been doing for his smelting projects. I was wondering if maybe this would be something that you are all interested in doing at the 2020 meet. there are alot of moving parts in this as i have done alot of research into it. So with that be said maybe this is something we might want to look at.
If all goes well I'll be there again in 2020 so I'd say heck yeah :D
I wonder if anyone knows Tim Zowada well enough to coax him into coming to the Texas meet.
How cool would that be....

Well Mike Blue also smelts and makes steel from black sand, and he has been known to attend the meet on occasion. I have so much black iron sand in this area it’s crazy. If we are going to plan for this I can start mailing iron sand to Charlie’s.
Well....If anyone starts smelting, they will be asked to take a shower! :deal:
Rezdog to bad you live so far away or I would get strut load from you
My question is where would we do it?
At the Twilite.....In YOUR room!:roflmao
Conducting a tamahagane smelt raises a lot of issues. Primarily one of safety. I seriously doubt that the city of Burkburnett, or any city, would be pleased with this occurring within the city limits. Each of the smelts that I have attended have usually occurred out in the country where there is less risk of fire from the large volume of ash/sparks etc that the process generates.
Charlie Lewis is the only person who can answer this. Personally I would not allow it. To much risk of starting the neighbors home on fire.
Sorry.
