Im John!! Not sure if im worthy of the title "blacksmith" but my intent is to make jewlery to begin, and perhaps a big sword to mount on my wall!
Were in a different age today, but im more intrested in doing this for kicks!! Make a piece of jewlery for myself, call it my own! I love the rennaissance, so blacksmithing always inspired me!!
Im obviously concerned with the safety, ive so far gotten that UV light thing helm, a small 2" anvil, a big metal vise that weighs more than me.(alot beter than a bench pin, i dont think i need 1) and of course a hammer !!
How dangerous is smithing ? ? I dont need to hear about elemental hazards just, physical ones caused by noobs. (Dropping a red hot cinder on the floor)
Im coming to terms with the basics of flux, and the need for a big stone area to work in. I wonder, is there a high heat/shock resistant concrete that I could buy at local hardware store ? ? Im trying to be real practical, im going to invest ina biggger anvil if making rings and ear ings go well. Just need a safe work environment, but no warehouse! -
wow so many people really do black smith with just a hammer and torch huh ?
Its like back in the day, there were no ovens or high-tech kilns. Or handheld torches that get to 4000 degrees. Im a noob, concerned with safety!!
