When are you considered a blacksmith?
It was never about that and you know it you're just trying to backpedal . Never once did I say I was good or better or even on the same level . Don't put words in my mouth. All it ever was, was there was just nothing else to call me but a blacksmith . Seems everyone else has figured it out why haven't you?

When are you considered a blacksmith?
This board is a little different than most websites . There are true craftsman on here that has been doing this trade for a long time . Most are not fat naked old men behind a keyboard living life in their mind . And the reason I hope to gain acceptance is that I hope to learn from them every little thing I possibly can. But I cannot deny the fact either that there is nothing else to call what I am other than a blacksmith . Although I'm liking Metal Dabbler ...

When are you considered a blacksmith?
I just flat don't know what to say 2 people when I am at 1 of the tractor show demos I do, or at a craft fair, or on the street trying to sell my products . When they ask what I am . What am I supposed to do? Tell them I'm a very bad hammer swinger ? Because I will if need be! You guys have no idea how much respect I have for you all and this craft . You get all defensive but there's no means to an end . Please please standardize something to make everyone happy . Like I said if it's common practice to call myself a dirtbag I will

Feel better about yourself? That's a childish thing to do . Can't come up with a better plan so just bring me down . But it still doesn't change anything, I am the lowest dirtbag on the bottom of the totem pole, but guess what that totem pole is called? The blacksmith pole I may be at the very bottom but I still am 1 And like Uncle sie would say that's a fact jack! Lol

When are you considered a blacksmith?
How about some of you guys think I'm wrong, some of us think that you're wrong, so that's what, agree to disagree ? Would it be that hard to standardize a ranking system? Someone needs to come up with some names and some tasks to graduate to the next level, have a group agree on it and start implementing it . Because I have no problems working my way up, but as of now there is no way to work up anything it's just blacksmith that's it . So if you don't like it try changing it ...
