Thanks Glenn, I've skimmed through the blueprints quickly (Thanks everyone who contributed to those) I'll take a look through the archives, Are they the same as going through the forum? only easier to navigate. Anyway, I have a lot of reading to do So I'll leave you all to it for now.

Great work there. I bet that hefty looking bar took some persuading to scroll.

Thanks I'm still scanning over the site at the moment but will join in discussions and ask questions soon I should think. there's plenty to learn as you say. Take care Adam

Hi JAFO, Thanks for the welcome. Yeah, I'll still forge tools etc But feel I should make things for the museum to sell to pay for my coal and iron.

Hi I found this forum a couple of days ago looking for projects to inspire me, You all seem like a friendly bunch So thought I'd join. I live in the UK. I've just started blacksmithing for a local museum which is quite strange, with people coming to watch what your doing all the time (even when your boiling the kettle on the forge for a drink) I make tools and blades normally But need to start making some things more appealing to the visitors at the museum (Which I don't mind) I've never had my own anvil So I'm getting good quality time on one at the moment. Hope to speak with you all soon Adam
