Hey guys! Thanks for your interest in being a bladesmith!

I'm incredibly excited about this inaugural IFJ weekend, as I know many of you are.

We'll update all registrants and the website with any other critical details, but here's all you really need to know: You're going to be blacksmithing your own blade throughout the weekend, under the guidance of the one and only Billy Salyers, who has hosted several mini blacksmithing activities at our other events.

We'll be staying at a ranch in Crockett, with some skeet & target shooting likely if our blacksmithing pace permits it.

Arrival: Thursday Oct 9th @ 9:00 AM
Departure: Sunday Oct 12th @ 4:00 PM

$450 Event Fee covers all expenses for the weekend, including food, lodging, and all the steel, tools, and guidance you'll need to craft your awesome blade.

SPACE IS LIMITED - we can only have so many guys forging blades simultaneously. So sign up while you can!

If you have any questions, call Dave 281-300-3342.
