Hello,I joined the Iforgeiron community not long ago,just wanted to say thanks for the wealth of info,ideas,help and advice,I am no longer hammering in the dark.When I get on a faster internet I hope to upload some pics of some of the projects,one being a forge built using an axle half from a a-model ford,fired it up the other day and it works great,gonna have to find a source for coal,its kinda scarce here in N.W. arkansas-All for now-Regards,Riverman

Bt ,the pitchfork gigs were what I was looking for,they are good to throw and lighter than the leaf spring gig,now gotta find some old pitchforks.Thanks ,Riverman

Glenn,went back and reset my personal info,Riverman

thanks,that will get me started,Riverman

Wanting to make some fish gigs,but not sure of a tempering process to use.Any ideas? Riverman

needing some patterns and tips on making a fish gig,heard of using leaf springs,thats a little heavy,want some thing lighter,prefer round tines,something that will stand up to using around rocks.Thanks Riverman
