Funny enough i did have a knapping habbit when i was like 6 i used to just grab two rocks and try to make on sharp.

The sons of odin part was a joke. And i will try to make sure i am not interupting anything and if i am i will leave. XXXXX clicked post for some reason before i was finished. Honestly if its possible i would love to make a living off blacksmithing, my interest is not from games for me its always been the love of history and when i was a tiny lad i thought blacksmiths where like magicians, able to make beautiful and practical items from dirt pretty much. I would be more than willing to learn any basic thing. be it heating a furnace or even how to hold a hammer :) If would help if you read a bit before posting, such as the terms of service you had to agreed to follow when you joined, prohibits foul language, I edited it out of your post. please read the rules.

Thanks matey. Guess its good that im considered to be a very nice guy then :)

Oh sorry i just realized that this is mostly an American website. I am from Liverpool in the uk IFi has members from over 150 countries it is not only american.

Ah sorry. I done that now.

Hello sons of odin, this may seem like a strange question but i have heard that because there is a lack of young lads wanting to try out blacksmithing alot of blacksmiths are enthusiastic about teaching people. I am asking this because i want to get into the art of blacksmithing and am thinking of taking a trip to the local blacksmith to talk to him. But one thing i have heard from alot of people is that most blacksmiths are rather nasty and unwilling to give out advice or help. Now i know its more about the individual and i hate to generalise. But would you say that blacksmiths are nice and happy to help out an enthusiastic 16 year old like myself. Thank you in advance and i hope to have a good time on this forum :) EDIT: oh yes i feel as though i should point out the people who said blacksmiths are unpleasent have never met one before.
