I am a beginner blacksmith ,but got the other day 52 tongs and i feel like a blacksmith with all those tongs. You might be a blacksmith if there is always place for more tools.

Wim Dankie vir jou gasvryheid .Ek sal vir seker jou n luitjie gee indien ek vashaak met iets of in daardie omgewing is. Ek kom maar selde in Johannesburg omgewing. Dit is jammer dat kuns van 'Blackmiths' so uitgesterf het in ons land met vergelyking met die ou dae. My nommer is 0730373539 indie jy enige iets nodig het hier in die Oos-Kaap. Groete Thinus Thanks for your warm welcome.I will give you a phone call if i need your assistance or if i am in your area. I do not often visit Johannesburg . It is sad that the art of Blacksmiths is not being practiced as much in our country in comparison with the past. My number is 0730373539 if you need something from the Eastern Cape. Regards Thinus

Hi I am from South Africa and stay in a small town called Queenstown in the Eastern Cape area. I am a beginner Blacksmith for a hobby. The proud of my "workshop" is a small metal coal forge which is powered with a hand cranked F55 1/2 British Akosa and the anvil is from Mouse Hole Forge about 55 kilograms. Good to see there are also South Africans here. Looking forward to learn a lot . Regards Thinus

Thanks for the warm welcome and advice. Regards Thinus

Hi I am from South Africa and stay in a small town in the Eastern Cape area. Blacksmiths are very scares if there are any here. I am a beginner Blacksmith.

I know i am going to learn a lot and enjoy it here. Regards Thinus
