Well, first of all happy new year to you all, my head is a little sore today so I lit the forge for a play around, it did the trick!
My name is nick searle, I live near Rye on the south coast of England, I have been interested in blacksmithing for a year or two now, Im no bloody good at it but really enjoy trying to move metal, this looks like a great site to read up on advice and useful information, I have a small coke forge and a Brooks anvil.
looking forward to exploring this site and getting my fingers burned!
best wishes
Nick
