March 10, 201016 yr I was going through some tools in my garage today that I wanted to take to the shop. I found a few things I made, what seems like, a lifetime ago. I started Blacksmithing in Collage some 20 years ago. Then I stopped, I know, I don't know what got into me... Life I suppose. Anyway, I found a few bits I made all those years ago. My shop back then was a shed that cost me $700.00 to build and was 8' x 12'. (complete with a floor) I worked in the front of it and outside. Sorry I didn't take any pictures. I thought it might be interesting to see pictures and hear stories of some of the first projects people made and what there set up was back when they started. Here are few of mine- The first picture is a product I was selling, Laser cut Quail image and a hand forged votive candle holder on a stake. The second and third are chisels I made. Woodworking tools are what drew me to smithing back then.
