yes, you have spiked my interest, i had a nice conversation with my wife tonight about "our" life changing choice of mine and she want's NO part of it, but i will keep talking to her about it. in the mean time i may try to contact a few of your local companies and see if i can find anything. My wife i am sure would like to know a little more about it "sarcastic", like where are the mall's if their are any, how far away is an average neighbor? is living in Alaska like living anywhere else?

what is a klinker?

welcome my fellow newb, u of m as in University of Michigan or Memphis? probably a stupid ? because you are in Memphis, but i figure i would ask. anyways welcome again.

I don't think i would be to cramped i live on an acre with a half stall garage in the middle of town, the 800 acres in silver city and the 160 in evart are hunting property and that is all they are good for. What does a cleared 20 acre's go for around your parts? do you know of any maintenance or at least heating and cooling jobs in your next of the big woods?

really we have 800 acres over by silver city just east of the porcipines. never been to Ironwood but know where it's at. you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a job here.

great thanks, where in the UP is she from? I would have never guessed are snow storms are worse than yours...although i am only 6 miles from lake michigan we get some bitchin lake affect snow

"who knows someone may be close and you can get together over an anvil." sorry but i am highly doubting this...i have never touched one, this blacksmith and metalworking really interest's me but i don't know and can't find where to start. Could someone point me in the right direction? and FROSTY you wouldn't believe how bad i want to live up there, but My wife would rather live on the equator, so Michigan will do.

Hi i am Marty just thought i would say hi. I am new to the blacksmithing wolrd but not to fabrication i hope to learn alot and make a few more friends as well as build a few things.
