I guess I'm doing it all wrong. I want to make useful practical stuff

Thanks. I hear you about starting with blacksmithing. I made my first tongs the other day. They were pretty rough. I'm a woodworker and have a pretty good feel for how wood will act. Metal is a whole different story.

I'll try to get better picks. There really isn't any "gunk" on the top

Picked this up on CL for a fair price. Rings and rebounds pretty well. I've used it a few times for general moving of metal. I'd like to start forging knives. Is the face too rough for that? Thanks

Hi all. New to blacksmithing. Looks like a ton of great accumulated knowledge here. I look forward to learning all I can. Thanks
