Hello, New to iforgeiron. My name is Scott, I'm from Portland OR. I'm pretty new to smithing. I got into it after I was medically retired from the military for PTSD. A basic blacksmithing class was offered at our community college so I took it as one of my electives as I was earning my degree in horticultural and urban agriculture. I got hooked immediately. The forges fire and the rhythm of smithing I found calming and centering. I hope to grow as a Smith and absorb as much info as I can. And I hope to get to know some other smiths on this forum and around the Pacific northwest.
