Hello just found this site and I have found it to be one if not the best site for disscussion and ideas for blacksmithing that I have come across. I am a 23 and smithing has become one if not the only thing I think or do during a given day as of now I apprentice with a blacksmith near by and the feelings I get from knowing that i am learning not only a skill but to be self sufficient is very rewarding to me but I just wanted to say hello and this is a great site.
