Hi all.
Thought I should join after a number of smithing friends pointed the way. Looks like a good site to be a member of, & I hope to be able to contribute to it.
I already see some names I know from British Blades (my home on the 'net), & look forward to getting to know the rest of you.
I am just beginning to learn the art of blacksmithing, having decided that a change was due early in 2007. I'm learning part time at the moment, and have attended courses with Bob Oakes, Peat Oberon & Owen Bush.
We're moving to Asutralia later this year, & I hope to be able to set up a small forge & start out as a (hopefully paying) hobby & see where it goes. :)
