This was handled to Antracit with the help of HEPHAISTOS!

From Paul Mills, the editor of the Australian blacksmith magazine "The
Drift", I received this e-mail:

As you may be aware, the recent (and on-going) Victorian fires were
devastating and right on our door step. While we are all deeply affected by
these events, at least one of our members is among those who lost family,
friends and property. The Association has since decided to embark on an
ambitious memorial project.

The Project.

The Australian Blacksmiths Association (Victoria) Inc. is asking blacksmiths
worldwide to help us create a forged gumtree as a memorial to the people who
lost their lives, to honour the tireless people who defended others and to
stand as a symbol of regeneration for the survivors. The ABA (Vic)
blacksmiths will undertake to forge the trunk and branches of the tree and
attach each leaf. The tree will be installed in a public place in one of the
affected townships.

What you need to do:
Forge a gum leaf in stainless steel or copper following the specifications
below. If you wish, you may forge a complete branch, a twig with a few
leaves or some gumnuts. All contributions will be gratefully received.

Please send your finished leaves and your details to:
The Tree Project, ABA (Vic) Inc.
c/o Paul Mills
255 Hildebrand Road, Cottles Bridge,
Victoria, Australia 3099

Get your completed leaves to us by 30 June 2009 so we can assemble the tree..

Location: 255 Hildebrand Road, Cottles Bridge,
