Thanks for the welcome!

I will probably become somewhat of a nuisance and have a ton of questions when I start setting up my shop, I've done chosen a spot
under the shed on the side of my woodshop. I just got a lot of clearing out to do. LOL I want to make a bellows and maybe a brick forge.

Oh, and I live in Haralson County out in the boondocks near Bremen.

Hello Everybody,

I've been interested in blacksmithing for several years now, even before I found out that my Grandfather (Buddy D. Cook)
had a small shop on his farm and dabbled some making and repairing farm implements and other tools. I kind of inherited
his anvil and some of his tools, but the forge was deteriorated and his blower (I think it was a Champion) got sold by a
relative. I'm thinking of setting up my own little shop to play in.

A few years ago I read "The Art of Blacksmithing" by Bealer and recently started rereading it. So glad I found this
community today.
