Hello
I'm a 13 year old boy embarking on the exciting adventure of blacksmithing. I have read many articles and a few books on this interesting craft so I know the basics. Naturally, I still have a few questions. It would be greatly appreciated if you answer some.
Thanks, Mike
1. Will it be ok if I use an open-air shop? I'm planning on making it roughly 15ft x 20ft with only a roof overhead.
2. What kind of anvil should I get?
3. For some reason I can't wrap my head around quenching. Could somebody explain it?
4. Any tips you want to tell a begginer like me :)
