Welcome to the Club SPC Hansen, Where are you from in the US, as mentioned above there's probably a club where ever your from or close to it. I hope Uncle Sam fixed you up with some Good Grub today, And I hope you had a good Xmas. Besure and check out the links Glenn give you above and stop by the chat room, There's normaly a few of us there in the evening time I think the time here is 11 hours different then yours. Anyway may God be with you, and I wish you luck on your goal of learning smithing.

Looks like ol Santa took care of you Brandon, I bet you'll be pounding something on it after while. I don't have any idea what kind it is ,whats it weigh.. Merry Christmas

I remember when you could get a 12 oz pepsi for 10 cents and a 16 oz for 15 cents. My Dad would give us kids a dollar and we would go to the store , and come back with a bag full of candy and still have money left over.

jayco, Give me the inspiration, { {Thanks James for sharing your building project}}--But its took awhile for me to get the ball rolling, Well last time I fired up the forge I got cold and decided it was time to build me something to work outta, So yesterday I started working on it. and it'll probably be a month or so before I get it done. I said I wasn't going to do no forging till I get me a building built, But will probably attempt to make me some door hinges and a door latch. to put on it.. I'll take some picture's and try and keep you all posted on the progress..Tom

Well boy's come febuary the 26th I'll become a full pledged member of the " Old Farts Club" yep I'll be fifty years old, I was sitting here thinking about back when I was in my twenty's and how fast time has flown by. I remember I worked at a old filling Station and the old man told me ,,The older you get the faster time goes by.. And you know what, That old feller new what he was talking about,, Seems like it took me forever the age of twenty, Then the years just flew by...And I also think about alot of friends that I knew that will never know what its like to become a Old Fart... I reckon I have earned the title.. LOL
