Hello everybody !
I am an autodidact blacksmith of a little French reenactment association and I come here to discuss iron stuff !
I am interested in historical smithing, swords, knives, iron ore smelting, and so on... I am also interested in old fire making methods like fire-steels with tinder and I worked on the physical mechanisms of making sparks as a student a few years ago.
Your community seems very wide with beautiful work done here !
Stephane.
