We fix anything but cats, cars and broken hearts. Bring your dull, dented, dysfunctional metal items to Repair Days at the National Ornamental Metal Museum October 19 - 21. Metalsmiths from across the country will be there to solder, sharpen, remove dents, re-tin copper cookware, and repair garden furniture and statuary. They will sharpen knives, scissors, garden tools and lawnmower blades. They can even straighten out that spoon that was mangled in the disposal.
Estimates are free.
All proceeds from repair work benefit the Museum. Saturday, October 20 is Family Fun Day. There will be lots of hands-on activities for all age groups. For a small fee, visitors can make jewelry, melt and pour metal for casting, and experience blacksmithing techniques such as forging and hammering. Master Metalsmith showcases the work of this renowned teacher and jeweler.
