I read of people making so many of this and that they become overwhelmed.
Here is a thought. Practice on one of the projects to take it back to the beginning.
You will learn folding welding and forming. I know it seems a waste of time but it is a way to learn control and how to underdo work.
Just a thought.
I would not dare to call myself a blacksmith but I have had a lifetime of engineering, including shaping materials in the fire and out of curiosity I like to try what you might call reverse engineering. You will be surprised at what you learn and understand about metal. I don't consider it a wasted effort. Cheers.
I might add sometimes my curiosity get me into trouble:)
