..Very informative and demonstrated. It's a booger trying to do diamond holes with a square punch. i liked the look you had when that piece went thru the ice @11:20 ...!

It was so cold out that morning. That piece is still at the bottom of the quench tub I think.

Glad you are going to do level 2 videos, I been trying to follow along and do the level 1, just for my own benefit and fun.

What do you think of the ABANA series? I've really enjoyed working through them.

[@garthowens9276]

@WatersIronworks I have been enjoying it, and it really shows where your weak spots are in your skills.

Thank you very much

I just came across your videos. I think they are some of the best teaching videos available. I was wondering you mentioned Abana zoom classes. Are they still available? I couldn’t find anything on line but I’m not the best at searching and finding.

[@WatersIronworks]

Check out pioneerfarms.org we've had 1 session so far in our 12 week course. If you sign up now we can do a catchup session for you.
We'll have a session in the fall also.

[@HoosierStateTrapper]

Thanks. I checked out the website. Looks very interesting. I’m not sure but it looks like all classes are in person. Just wanted to make sure. Is there anything now available on zoom or was that just during the pandemic? Thanks for the help and your reply.

[@WatersIronworks]

@@HoosierStateTrapper All our classes at pioneer farms are in person but ABANA puts on Zoom classes.. The next level 1 zoom class starts in November.
It isn't listed yet but will be out here when it is: abana.org/events/classes/
