BFBA International Team Blacksmithing Competition 2023

Where: Hall 2, NAEC Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire CV8 2LH 

Held alongside BFBA Focus

In Association with The Blacksmiths Guild

Following the success of The Blacksmiths Guild display at last year’s Focus, the Guild is delighted to invite blacksmiths to compete in the Team Blacksmithing Competition.

The competition will involve making a swingle tree to be manufactured in 2 hours by a two-man/two-woman team, from steel supplied. The cost is £10 per team. Material and any special tools will be supplied. There will be a coal forge/fire, fuel, anvil(s) and a mounted leg vice to use. The forge area is under cover. Competitors are to bring their own hand tools, sledge and PPE protective gear. There’s no clean up time and no spare materials.
