I looked for the introduction thread but couldn't find it.
My name is Rio, I live in El Paso, TX
I'm new to the board and also new to smithing.
But not new to metal. I weld so I figure that they go hand in hand.
Right now I'm just working on collecting some of the stuff so that I can play around with it on the weekends.
the new score.... I may have found a couple of anvils at a devious .20 a pound.
right now I'm just waiting for the refractory to dry in my new mini forge.
I hope it works. I made it out of an 5 gallon oil can. It's going to be small but it ought to work just fine to heat some metal so I can bang on it.
so I'm really excited.
looking to learn as much as I can sounds like a really fun hobby.
