Central Virginia Blacksmith Guild meeting September 12,  2009 at GTS Welco

The meeting on September 12 was a field trip to GTS Welco.  Employees Brian and Devin gave us a tour of the facilities and told us about some of the product lines the company carries.  A detailed tour was given of the compressed gas filling stations and gas storage facility, but we could not take pictures to protect the company's unique system.

Afterwards we were given a demo on abrasives where we could test different cutting and sanding products.

A fantastic BBQ lunch was provided by our host
