Thanks you for the welcome! Updated my location in my profile but i doupt anyone close to me (less than 8h drive...) is a experienced smith but hey, who know! The forge i made is quite a basic coal forge made out of a brake rotor. Everything is set on a "table" made out of a drum cover and 2 inch tubing. I will make a post soon in solid fuel forge section for general input and way to improve my design. As for the stuff i want to make i sure want to try making some knife! But im gonna start easier with making myself a fire poker, some set of tongs and some punch out of spring steel.

Hi, new guy from Quebec, Canada. Ive been interested in blacksmithing/bladesmithing for a little more than 1 year. Im curently at trade school in welding class doing my second year of a 2 year course but i have previously worked a a heavy industry welder for 2 and half a year and have a summer experience in a aluminium fab shop as a apprentice welder/fabricator. Most of my initial interest have came from Mans at Arms: Reforged on youtube and Forged in Fire, then i started to get a lot of information from online board and video, just completed my first forge tonight and cant wait to fire it up and make something out of forged steel!
