DESCRIPTION:Todays Power Hammer Demo with Mike Cataldo\n\nToday's meeting
  was held at Aggressive Metalworks in Guilderland\, hosted by Mike Catal
 do. As expected\, Mike gave a spectacular power hammer demonstration. He
  explained the different types of power hammers\, and went into great de
 pth on tooling and dies used with them. Especially useful was his demons
 tration on the use of a "saddle" which is a simple but clever quick rele
 ase devise used for holding various type of fullers. He also demonstrate
 d making a ball on the end of a half inch square bar\, and demonstrated 
 an angled fullering tool that is used for beveling hatchets and axe head
 s. We were also entertained with forge welding a 1080 carbon steel plate
  onto a forged mini anvil Mike made out of a 2"x2" square rod. Mike's ge
 nerously equipped shop allowed for a lot of open forge opportunities usi
 ng his many anvils and several folks took advantage. As always\, this wa
 s a great event at Aggressive Metalworks\, and we all thank Mike for his
  hospitality and sharing his skills at teaching\, which are impressive. 
 Novembers meeting will be on simple and quick forged items that can make
  a good Christmas gift. If anyone has anything they would like to demons
 trate\, let Jim or Jack know. See the schedule for what Jim has in mind 
 for November. Good hammering! Paul Crosby
