  2. Hey there Woodsman,
    Glad to see your posts. If you give a hint of where you live, (state, country), there may be someone here that you can hook up with to get some help. there is a wealth of knowledge available here. I know, I pick their brains all the time. Actually meeting another blacksmith and talking to them is the best way to go. There may be an ABANA near you. Good luck.

  3. I just like times that were before me, anything 1700's and before i like so i'm into stuff like making longbows, blacksmithing and using no power tools, no specific era but thanks for the help.
  4. Alright, i want to get into blacksmithing, but still want to be able to transport my equipment. I figured i could start small and build my skills making bow tips (because i make longbows), and steel rings to put around flutes ( becuase i'm making them too) and maybe knives. I was hoping you guys could give me some insight as to what i need to do this. First steel, then smaller anvil( can you help me on this what is a good size that has good surface area, but not to heavy),hammers, tongs, and somekind of small forge ( this is where i need the most help, making a "small forge".) Thanks P.S. how would i make arrow heads. something like this http://www.longbowandarrow.co.uk/hector-cole-arrowhead-short-type-10-533-p.asp current list a 2lb. ball-pein hammer? pair of tongs small steel 5-10 anvil firepit with bellow for forge? or does anyone know of small portable one small%2
