  1. It'll hold toilet paper well Looks nice!
  2. 1) Name- Mitchel (by the way, I'm 14 years old) 2) Location- Southern California 3) What type blacksmithing do you do, what do you make. - Knives, and about anything else. 4) How and when did you get started in blacksmithing - Seeing demonstrators at ren-fairs, one of the guys recommended CBA. 5) What object or thing did you use as your first anvil- At the CBA forge I used the anvils there which were real ones. 6) Tell us about your first forge, hole in the ground, camp fire, brake drum, stacked bricks- I used charcoal to harden a couple of ground out file knives, but my first proper forge was and is a Chile Tabasco 7) Who assisted you or encouraged you in the craft- My parents, who got me tools over various Christmases THANK YOU!! And my instructors at CBA, you guys are awesome! 8) What event changed your attitude about blacksmithing- When I was a kid I always thought it was about dwarves in viking legends, I saw demonstrators at ren-fairs and saw it was real. 9) What tool has changed or made your life easier in the shop- Just got a post vice. That thing is awesome! 10) What advice would you give those starting out in blacksmithing- Get it hot, Hit it hard, And have a good time 11) What advice would you give those already involved in blacksmithing- Same! 12) What are some of the interesting things that have happened to you in your life as a blacksmith. - No great stories!
  3. Impressive! I like that sambar!
  4. Wow, thanks for all the replies! This is really helpful. Just to let people know, I won't actually be forging there :)
  5. I'm going to an artist thing in a month or two, and will have a few knives along with blacksmith items. So, I'm planning to have some key chains, maybe some candle holders, perhaps a coat hook or two... My question goes to all of the people who go to craft fairs and such, what do people tend to like? Is there a certain thing that really tends to catch on? I'm thinking people might think "blacksmith knives" and flint strikers are pretty snazzy. Thanks, Mitch
  6. Check out these videos on how to make one There are three, this is the first.
  7. Thanks! BlissStreet- That's because they're puukkos! Lol! The handle on the first is natural canvas micarta. The last is homemade paper micarta.
  8. There are so many, I don't have a favourite! This one's good.
  9. Just three examples of knives I have made.
  10. I love it so far, can't wait until there're some roses!
  11. Hey all! I've been taking blacksmithing classes for a year or two now, but just recently got an anvil, forge, etc, so I can do some serious stuff. I'm both into knifemaking and blacksmithing. I'm kind of new to smithing, so I'll have a couple questions! I also have a Youtube channel and have a couple knifemaking/smithing videos on it. http://www.youtube.com/user/BackWoodsPuppy/videos (shameless self promotion, haha!) Thanks, Mitch
