  1. I am home now and my point still stands. This site is hard to navigate, the way the subfourms are split under the topics and yet the topic has posts under it also. Sure you may have been using computers sence I was little and no I haven't been able to help anyone on this site but I'm here to lern, not teach. I know very little about blacksmithing but I do know alot about finding info on the net. I am a member of more forums than I can count and I am not exaggerating when I say this has been the worst experience yet. I'm trying to point out what is my reasons for not liking it here and one of the vets jump down my throat? That's messed up. Go to iboats, hottrodders, auto geek, the ranger station... all have a format very different than this and all have been around for years and are still growing. If you want suggestions on how to improve the site, listen without judgment and follow what works. This will likely be my last post here and that's a shame bc this place has/had potential....
  2. I'm at work so I had to skim read this but as a new member but long time fourm user, I have to say the layout of this site is all off. There is a set way these should be and this one is not even close. There are many examples out there of how it should be
  3. Well 8 poles cut and ate some lunch. Back home in a bit to try and build something
  4. Well I'll keep my eyes open for some pallets but in the meantime I'm going to to cut some trees at my father's land this weekend and see how a teepee goes for a temp shelter. And yes thomas, that's one thing I'm worried about. I hate that they are so strict obout little things. My fiance got a $60 parking ticket bc of the winter parking ban on a night that it wasn't even close to snowing and a few years back, I had my camaro ,witch was obviously a race car, get impounded out of my mom's back yard bc it didn't have plates on it...
  5. I was leaning twards the teepee also bc I can get 6x8 foot tarps from Walmart for $2 each. I'm just not sure if that would be a good idea bc of them being plastic and likely to deteriorate in a year or two. Plus the size I would need to work a fire in would be tall. The car ports I feel are too large also and expensive for what you actually get. Maybe I'm just being too picky. I'll get a pic of the yard maybe this weekend to give you an idea of what I'm working with, it's not ideal. I miss the farm so bad
  6. So I moved a year ago from our family farm to the city. I rent the upstairs of a 2 story and have a shared back yard. I want to build something to stay our of the elements but being rented property, in town, It can't be permanent. Iv thought about something like a teepee but I think that would stand out too much lol I don't need alot of space. Does anyone have any ideas?
  7. I actually have a topper from a 96 if you want to keep the bed dry.
  8. Iv been watching torbjorn's and also two you haven't listed and find very good, "df in the shop" iirrc and "modern blacksmith "
  9. Totally new to this but maybe just as simple as getting bigger coal?
  10. Hello all. I'm Rob as you have noticed. Always wanted to do a little metal work and lately I've been spending every spare minute on YouTube trying to learn everything. I have alot of hobbys; engine building, auto restoration, fishing, 4x4 and this seems to fit right in. I have alot of reading to do so I'll get to it. And if there's anyone local that could use a free hand around your shop, I'm here
