Spring Break with David
Finnr replied to brianbrazealblacksmith's topic in Blacksmithing, General Discussion
I love it! That lad has skill and the drive to make good use of it! Finnr -
Well I can't address this from the large side being 5 ' 8" and 145 pounds. But a 2 or 2.5 hammer is my favorite. If you get your heats right there isn't a need to go huge unless you are working larger stock. Finnr

That finished up very nicely! Finnr

Nice looking knives! A bit more polish and finish work wouldn't hurt. But nothing wrong with what I see. Keep on hammering! Finnr

Check out the information given on heavy metals in the stickies. Paw Paw Wilson was a very experienced and well known smith who died from complications of heavy metal poisoning. I DEEPLY regret that I never met him for I have found the things he wrote to be truly inspiring to me as I was learning to blacksmith. Please don't become the fondly remembered New Guy. Finnr

Monday my Mom took a nasty fall while going out to pick up her mail. Spent most of Monday at ER with her. Lots of X rays and CAT scan. No broken bones but she may need surgery on her Left hand . She skinned it badly on the back and it's pretty close to the tendons. I'm sure that she would appreciate your prayers. Thanks Finnr

Try a local HVAC place they often have blowers from junked furnaces that will serve you very well cheaply or free. Finnr

No. the sand melts before welding heat is reached. That's why it's there to melt and exclude oxygen. Finnr

I learned to do all my basic smithing in this forge. My first billets came out of it. Finnr
