2004 Is off to a great start. The two meets we have attended so far have had record turn outs. This may be the result of our new Calendar of Events or its just a great year for blacksmithing events?

The annual Boone Hammerfest had a record turnout of about 250 attendees.

Roger Duncan passes:
I met a wonderful fellow named Roger Duncan at the Boone Hammerfest on February 28. He was peddling a replacement for Pure Iron that he called "Double Ought Iron" or 00Fe. (.003% C). This was a very low carbon steel product used to make alloy and specialty steels. I bought a little of it to test and report on.

. . . He will be missed by all that knew him.
