March break - Maple Syrup Festival in Aylmer, Ontario

Jennifer McDaniel — Thu, 05 Dec 2024 14:25:37 +0000

We have a Maple Syrup Festival at our conservation area (Aylmer, ON) every year and we are looking to bring more families out. I have always enjoyed seeing blacksmiths at festivals and thought a blacksmith would be a good fit for our festival.
If this is something you do, I am just looking for pricing, availability for any day between Saturday, March 8 - Sunday, March 16, and what space you would need or any other information we would need. The festival is mostly held outdoors with lots of places that might work. Please let me know if this is something you could do.

Looking for Someone who can Plenish a Tray

Peter — Tue, 20 Aug 2024 14:46:01 +0000

I was in a car rollover, and am unable to lift, or stand for long etc. I have a few projects that need doing. One project is to plenish a 16 gauge 30 x 26 x 3/4 inch stainless steel tray. I am looking for someone who can hit metal with a hammer. I am posting the ad here because blacksmiths hit metal with a hammer. The tray can not be made here. You can make it an ship it or bring it over. No experience is required. This is very simple mater of bending metal over a wooden pattern. Metal bends when it is hit. I also need a wooden pattern.

I also have some other things that need doing. They only require average hand eye coordination.

two long hooks

Jeff — Tue, 15 Dec 2020 19:00:01 +0000

I need two 18" hooks out of 3/8" round stock - holdbacks for carriage doors. The screw-eye can be from a hardware store so no need to thread. Powder coating would be great, if you are able. I am in the Peterborough area.

Please email me if interested, jsiegerman@live.ca

Looking for blacksmith to help me create my own wedding band

Martin — Thu, 19 Sep 2019 22:40:57 +0000

Hello Blacksmiths,

I am recently engaged, and after digging around I came with the idea to make my own wedding band. I personally don’t have the tools or the expertise, so I would love to find a blacksmith that could help me create my own wedding band. I would like it to be made out of Damascus steel. I would like to be involved in every process with your guidance. I am located in Hamilton but I am willing to travel within 100km to make this happen.

Cheers,

Martin
