I looked at some of the popular books a cousin had who is interested in bladesmithing. What caught my eye was the craftskill involved in makeing tools.. art.. hardware.. blades.. I'm hooked. Last fathers day I made a ducksnest in the edge of the garden with a piece of pvc and a hair dryer for a blower and the tractor weight on a tiny "ricepaddy" tractor for an anvil.
Since, my overtime and learning curve have been inversely proportional.....
Today I'm cleaning some tanks to cut for a gas forge. Hopeing to hear from some of the scrap metal scavengers for a piece to use for a post anvil (later to be added to a powerhammer).
Interests near Jonesbor, AR ; Memphis, Tn ; Starkville, MS
