July Meeting
Saturday July 15 2017 Meeting 9:00am
Hands On Sandcasting Workshop
Neil Davis’s Shop
7212 West 900 South
Ogden Utah 84404
*801-731-4958
Neil Davis is a master electrician, machinist, farmer and truly a jack-of-all-trades.
As you will see on July 15th blacksmithing is just one of this many interests. His
collection of antique farm equipment borders the west and east side of his and Patti’s
property. The finest complement I can give someone is that they remind me a lot of a past
BCF member Deloy Larson. Both came from similar beginnings, having a grasp of a vast
amount of knowledge in many fields whom if asked will generously share it. Because of
their humility and modesty you may never know.
You will hear, learn and use new
terminology like Cope, Drag, Pouring
Basin, Sprue, Gate, Gas Vent Hole
and Mold Cavity. You will be leaving
with castings similar to those
pictured. As you will see it doesn’t
take a great deal of equipment and
expense to sandcast. I hope that this
meeting will generate enough interest
that possibly in the future BFC will
have a “Build It, Small Foundry
Furnace Workshop”.

*Please RSVP! By phone
As usual there will be a fee for the
hands on Workshop, which will cost
$15.00. Those who don’t want to
participate but see what’s happening
& visit aren’t expected to pay. All
those attending should have safety
glasses, non synthetic clothing and no
open toed shoes.

Bonneville Forge Council (BFC)
This site is always growing and we invite you to browse through our pages. We hope you will find the Gallery pages inspiring and the Project pages interesting. Our members are always adding to these areas and we invite others to do so as well. If you have an interest in blacksmithing we invite you to become a BFC member.
We are always looking for fresh ideas and new techniques to share with the blacksmithing comunity. If you are new to Blacksmithing, or an old hammer, you might enjoy looking at the resources area for the library, recommended reading and suppliers. |
