Hello,
So, I've been planning on getting into Blacksmithing for quite some time. Never having a fixed abode haltered me, but now I do, so....happy days!
I have invested in the gear. Built a forge, bought a anvil, a vice, some tongs.....gotta get me some hammers and other bits and pieces. But we're pretty much there!
I trained as a sculptor....and that is....eventually......what I'd love to be doing with the iron. My main preparation has been drawing lots of plans, and making models in clay (I have the feeling that clay moves in a similar way to iron).
But there is a lot to take on board until I get there. So, has anyone got any advice, beginner projects and the like?
I had the notion, of maybe taking one new project a a week, and doing it over and over again to practice technique. So maybe, like, pokers one week, candle sticks the next, over and over.
So advice is welcome.
Cheers :)
