Hi All on "I Forge"
I have had an interest for years and figured I should start on my hobby before it comes close to retirement. I am starting to build a forge etc.. on my property. My 2 teenage sons are excited as well as I about this.
I own a laser cutting, fabricating and powder coating shop in Barrie, Ontario, Canada (1 hour north of Toronto). We do alot of laser cutting for various Black Smiths in our area and as mentioned above, I have always been interested this craft.
I also fabricate and install works for artists. I am leaving this Tuesday to visit an artist/blacksmith in Chile by the name of Francisco Gazitua. This will be my imersion class in blacksmithing as we will be working in his forge for a couple of days.
I look forward to asking the "same old" questions and hopefully contributing.
