  1. Mark- fantastic, once things quiet down for you I'll be sure to drop by. I've past a shop in Brookline too- do you know if the person who owns it is on here? Was up at the League of NH Craftsman's fair two weeks ago- saw some amazing work from Winnipesaukee Forge. Frosty- thanks as well. I've seen a lot of posts of people taking apart blowers, re-building them (machining new gears, shafts, pouring babbits, etc); is it worth it just to open it up...clean it out...and re-assemble? IE- I don't have a means to machine anything, etc... Also- I'd post some photos, but it appears I can't yet. I'll need to read the rules, etc...
  2. Thanks! I was planning on this being just a money-consuming hobby for fun (like most are); but apparently it may work out differently. I'll post up some photos when I get a chance (probably later this evening).
  3. Hello everyone, I'm Brian. I started blacksmithing with a lesson over the winter and since have taken a few others. I fairly recently acquired an anvil, some tools, and a side-blast forge with a so-so hand crank blower. So far I've made an S-hook with a twist (oooOOooooO), some tongs, and a hot dog fork for camping. I've been using charcoal, my blower is worn, and my forge less than ideal...but it's enjoyable so I'll improve things with time. Just really doing smithing for fun, but am getting requests to make some rudimentary items for $$$. Anyway whenever I've looked stuff up online I frequently end up on this board and figured I'd join up. I'm in NH. So hello everyone, nice to meet you all!
