Been lurking around the boards for a long time now. thought i would at least introduce myself and say hi. I'm pretty new to blacksmithing. my uncle has been doing it for 13 years or more and i got interested about a year or two ago. i don't have too many tools yet. i have a 100lb Hay Budden anvil, a gas forge and i'm still working on getting the post vise. it's pretty much just a "whenever i can" hobby since my time is split with my job, school and family. hopefully one day i'll get as good as some of you out there. I've seen the pictures and i have to say there are some very talented people that post here, actually i haven't seen a bad picture yet. Keep up the good work everybody.
