I spent yesterday at the Bellingham Technical College annual Welding Rodeo.
This is the fourth year I have attended it and it is always a lot of fun.
I brought my camera:
A good turnout.
This was the first year that they offered the general public
a chance to try out welding on their own.
A good number of people were waiting in line for the chance
to try this very fun craft.
A local blacksmith was there demonstrating his craft.
I really like the design of his forge and that small stand
with the post vise and the grinder is going to be swiped for my shop.
Very portable and useful...
Two of the booths -- there were eight booths.
The second one is going for a Mayan theme.
The Marimba Bond set a nice upbeat tone to the whole event.
Two photos of the new welding school digs.
A lot nicer than the old building where I took my clases.
A fun time and something I look forward to every spring.
Next up is the Bellingham Highland Games.
