Videos always seem to make the ring seem worse than it is. Great vid tho!

Adam

Looking Good!!

I really like the curly maple finished that way.

Adam

First thing is where do you live? Availability and price vary greatly depending on where you are. Go to user CP and put in your location to make it easier for people to help with this.

Welcome to IFI!

There are lots of great folks here willing to help whenever you need it.

It sounds like you are well on your way to being set up. Now it's time to get out and beat on some iron. Keep us posted.

Adam

Welcome to IFI!

Good to have you aboard. Lots of great info and people here.

Adam

Welcome to IFI.

This is a great place to learn and meet new people. Anything you want to know is here, and if you can't find it, just ask.

Adam

Looks Great!!! Can't wait to see it done.

I've got all kinds of ball peens kicking around, never thought of making a hawk with them. Maybe I'll have to give it a shot.

Adam

Hi and welcome to IFI!!

The best source of information I've found so far is this site. Pull up a chair and pack a lunch and do some reading. You can find any info you want on smithing here. If it's not here, don't be afraid to ask.

Adam

Nice one!!
They don't get nearly that big around here.

Adam

Wow, what is this world coming to? It's pretty sad.

Adam

Looking good. I think you have inspired me to give one a try.

Adam

And always feel free to join the chat room and just shoot the breeze with whoever is there. It's a good way to learn too.

Adam

Welcome back Frosty!!!

Great to see you're back functioning again. There was a definite void here while you were gone. Now stay away from the trees!!

Welcome back!!

Adam

Welcome to IFI!! You will find a wealth of knowledgeable people willing to help along with loads of great information.

Adam

Maybe you could convince the wife to have a family vacation in Pennsylvania, and do a bit of shopping for anvils and vises.

Well it just so happens that I'm not married, so no one to convince. Maybe a vacation will be in order. And I could use a bigger anvil. Hmmmmmmmm......

Adam

I only wish that they were that plentiful around here!!! It seems near impossible to come across one. I never considered making one.

Adam

I do most of my work in the winter, so I'm inside with my gasser. In the summer, it is too hot to use the gas forge inside, so I switch to coal and work outside when the weather is good. I like the being outside as much as possible, it helps to inspire me.

Adam

I have been away from this board for quite some time and I come back to news like this!!! It saddens me greatly to hear about Frosty, he is a great fixture here and I'm sure there has been a hole in his absence. I'm glad to hear that he's recovering.

All the best and a speedy recovery Frosty. Hang in there Deb.

Welcome to the site, good to have you aboard!

Adam

Welcome to IFI, good to have you.

Adam

Welcome to the site Leroy!!! Good to have ya!

Adam

Well, I finally got my touchmark from Harper.

I am very happy with the product, but not so much with the service. They told me 3 weeks, it took over 5 weeks for them to ship it. And the shipping price was way to high IMO. (not trying to bash them, just stating the facts)

Anyway here are the pictures of the stamp, it is awesome!!!!

I agree, find your local steel supplier, you will be surprised at how cheap it is. I just bought 3/8" square X 20' for $9.00.

Adam

Welcome to the site, good to have you!!!
