Good morning Phillip. Just had to ask. Where are you located from Ft Wayne? I grew up over near Lima, Ohio. Was just curious. Have you met Steve Sells, on here? He lives in Ft Wayne. Talk with you later.

Hi there. was looking at your ball pein hawk. Nice!! BTW, I served a four year apprenticeship in HVAC Sheet Metal, back in the mid 70s. Moved on to welding, structural, then factory/production. Finally got a forge and gave up trying to use just a torch about 10 years ago. Take care. You do good work.

Glad that you coud make it. It was nice to meet you and your dad, too. I always enjoy meeting other smiths and putting a face with someone from IFI is always fun, too. Talk with you later.

Hey ironbud. How'd you like the hammer-in? It was nice to get to meet you and your dad. If I can help you out on anything, just give me a hollar. Talk with you later. CG

Just stop by the gas station and ask for the blacksmith shop. I'm the only one in town, and the town is only 750 people.

redgie, post where you are from and post some pix of the mail box that you made. Sounds pretty neat.

Happy Birthday, Karl. Keep on smithing. I only wish that I had started that young. CurlyGeorge

Happy Birthday, ya OLE FART!!! LOL I'll be 57 on the 26th.

Thanks for the info, Andy. I kinda suspected the mid 1800s. But wasn't too sure. Talk with you later. CG

Hey Andy. Just a quick question for you. Do you have any info, or know where I could find info, on when hand crank blowers first came into use? I'm using it on some demo topics. Thanks. Talk with you later. CG
