Hello! My name is Anthony Mans and I am from Lawton, Oklahoma but have recently moved North to Blanchard, Oklahoma. I am about as green as it gets when it comes to blacksmithing but I am good with my hands and over the years have picked up skills such as basic MIG welding, torch welding, brazing, and countless projects with wood. I am going to turn 30 in November and I have decided to take the plunge into the world of Blacksmithing. I have been going to fairs and different events since I was a small child and every time the "ting...ting...ting" would always catch my ears and I could lose myself for hours watching them work. Im planning to leverage my birthday as a vessel to buy all the things I want/need to begin this new adventure so I have from now until November to draft up my list of things to buy! This is important to me and I am over the moon excited for the coming months. There's nothing in the world like the pride that a person gets when they've worked really hard on something and they can sit back and say, "I did that."
Anyway, it seems like a great group here and I am looking forward to getting to know all of you!
