Dave_in_OK

I'll be making my first set tomorrow if they turn out half as nice as yours I'll be happy.

Hayden thanks for the input it's a discarded tail left in the weeds but I'm going to check with the guys to make sure it's all right! Thomas I live in Cache Ok about 160 miles from Perry I think. Saw them listed and bookmarked the page but have been lost here on this site reading lol. So thanks for the heads-up on the Conference. I'll see if the wife will let me go for the weekend David hoping to find a local group if not I'll just have to travel a little lol but, it will be well worth it!

A while back I needed to have a home made tool Heat treated but I couldn't find any one around here that did it so, one thing led to another and here I am! So far I've made a forge and my own charcoal (no coal around and I had a bush pile) found a railroad track (will be picking it up tonight with a friend as I wore myself out last night trying to carry it back to the road) for an anvil. As for the tool that started it all it's in the tempering stage right now lol. I had never given Blacksmithing a thought before but after watching some YouTube and reading everything I can (so far) I now can't wait to make that anvil! So much to learn, so much to make and so little time. :D
