Oldsmith

reek me after working at the forge in the summer

First I would like to apologize for my ensuing comments. I have been lurking around this very nice website as a guest for a few months. A friend of mine put me onto it. Again , this is an amazing collection of information and people that is and should be a treasured resource. Thanks to all involved. Thomas Powers, you are in an intolerable bore. I have read your scathing and high handed imperious blatherings to too many people's simple questions. You criticize and nit pick the least little thing that ANYONE has to say. I'm sure that in your own right you are a knowledgeable person, but frankly, you always treat people in these forums pretty badly. You are not the be all and end all of blacksmithing. I am pretty sure at this point you seem to only to listen to yourself. I'm not saying you have nothing to bring to the table,, its how you do it. Get over it. Again, my apologies for this disruption.
