Hi all, I just joined this forum a few minutes ago, which is exactly 3 hours after purchasing my first "old" forge. I have always loved metalworking, but have no experience at all with forging or blacksmithing. My son went to an exhibition casting show a few weeks ago and showed great interest in making "things" out of fire and metal. This conversation rekindled my own inner child and desire to create things. I want to create useful everyday things. My son wants to make huge swords. Haha. But, I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello. I already have so many questions before I even turn coal to coke for the first time.
