Cogburn

My great grandfather was a blacksmith and my grandfather worked for the Missouri Pacific Railroad for 42 years. My grandfather had a forge and a working steam engine and a nice shop. I used to hang out there all the time and marvel at what he could do with his hands and hand tools. I have his old anvil and some of his hammers and tongs and things. I want to start doing some forging of iron. Small items at first like hooks and drawer handles. Maybe some knives later on.
