Bam is the Blacksmiths Association of Missouri, a chapter of ABANA The
Artist Blacksmith's Association of North America It was organized in 1984
by Bob Patrick and a small group of people who were interested in learning this
ancient craft. Since then the group has grown to nearly 400 members in Missouri
and other states.

We meet at a member's shop every other month to share ideas and demonstrate new techniques at the forge. One of the highlights at every meeting is the trade item. The host will pick an item, say kitchen utensils, and everyone makes their own version of the concept. If you make one , you get to take someone else's home.
