Default Hello

Hello, I was doing some idea searching when I found IFI, and was glad to find such a treasure trove. I am semi new to blacksmithing, I was introduced to it by David Calvo a wood carver from Massachusetts, he taught me and my dad a few years back how to make our own tools for woodworking well my dad was hooked on woodworking and I became fascinated in blacksmithing. I am in college now for mechanical engineering, specializing in metallurgy. Once here though I found five smiths in the area and have been helping them out in their shops learning all that I can. I hope that I will have the chance to learn from you guys as well. Thanks

Yes it is, and how it spreads, my brother and I are both into blacksmithing and he is pumping me for what I learn in my metallurgy classes, which isn't much yet.

Welcome aboard.

When cramming for finals is riding you hard, there's nothing that'll relieve the stress like beating the snot out of a piece of hot steel. It's a very good thing.

Glad to have ya.
