CCASM held its fourth Potluck meal on Saturday May 13 at Ned Edelen's house near Bryantown. It's always fun to have an excuse to get together and to eat. And there was a variety of food - all quite delicious. Also how often do you get a chance to watch a blacksmith working?

| Looking at Dollhouse Information |
Prior to the lunch most of us checked out Ned's "museum" - quite interesting. Sort of like being in your grandmother's attic or your grandfather's barn. And everyone had to check out the dollhouse that is a replica of Sunnyside (CH-214) as it was in 1916.
As at most potlucks, there was more than enough food.

After we finished eating, the annual CCASM business meeting was held. Thirteen members were present. There were also six guests.

| Ned Edelen |
The meeting was followed by a short walk to the garage where Ned Edelen talked about blacksmithing and the various tools involved. Then Ned demonstrated how to make nails, a three-link chain, and a "heart" puzzle. Each introduced us to a different aspect of blacksmithing . Ned had two copies of a puzzle he had made that people could try to solve while he worked- some solved it quickly, others didn't.
Here are several photos from the demonstrations.
