Oh, wow! Thank you everyone for your tips and advice! <3

I shall get gloves for next time! I did have serious burns from welding during my first time, so I'd really want to do it safe for next time. Haha. Thank you so much for your tips!

Thank you! I was told the hammer was around 2lbs. I have really small hands, so I'm looking to have my hammer customized (hopefully make one for myself in the future). I actually forgot to get gloves, so I just covered all the wounds and blisters with bandage and tape. Hehe. Thank you so much!

Hello, everyone! I am a beginner, but have always wanted to get my hands at blacksmithing. It is my dream to build actual knives, swords, and armors, as well as plenty of other things from metals. I started with an introductory course with a non-profit organization here called Le Forges de Montreal. The first things I forged are here: https://imgur.com/gallery/wm9xo. (A fire poker, nails, chisel, center cut, coat hanger). I am looking forward to learning and growing as a smith with everyone!
