On August 5, during Family Fun Day, the Saltfork Craftsmen will be holding a Blacksmithing Demonstration in the blacksmith shop from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Guests can enjoy watching the craftsmen work and will have an opportunity for safe hands-on experiences.
The team of expert blacksmiths will be demonstrating the wheelwright’s craft. Tom Nelson, CSM’s resident blacksmith, will demonstrate the special skills involved in the construction of heavy wheels, including the finishing touch of adding a metal ring or “tire” to tighten the wheel and ensure its stability.
Family Fun Day is an educational event that is free to attend, but donations are appreciated. For more information about all of the activities planned, please call 580-336-2405.
