Rhyfelwr

I've bought a house inside Talladega city limits (Alabama) about two years ago, and have been forging off and on in the back yard. Its a rather poor area and my neighbors are friendly so no problems or complaints. And I don't think there are any ordinances regulating fires unless they are over a certain size. Except when there is a drought. I would say, and have always just gone ahead with what I need to do and let the regulations catch up later.

Then you can just apologize and conform. :P

I have my Grandpa's knives, and both were veterans; one in the Navy and the other in the Army. The one that was in the Army carried a wooden scaled knife that looks exactly like those black handled "electricians" knives. I now have it and I used to carry it but it was old and the mainspring for the blade side broke. So now it resides in a box.

Its so worn I could never figure out what the lettering on the blade says.. I actually think its something like "Case & Sons" but like I said its really worn..


I also meant to say that I own one of those "US" Camillus knives. Its my current carry everyday knife.. never failed me yet!

Thanks for the welcome guys! I will fill out my location info right now Thanks Doug!

Hows it going? My name is Ben, I'm from Alabama. Been working iron and steel off and on for several years, but I've been in an off time and am thinking of getting back into it. Just surfing google.com and ran across you guys! So here I am!
