Hi everyone,
Name's Conrad (I'm rather unimaginative with usernames!) and I'm a multi-national world traveller, currently residing in the east end of Canada.
A little background:
I was born and raised in South Africa. From there I moved to Singapore, after that England, now Canada. I've visited a fair few other countries in between too. All by the tender age of 22!
My grandfather was a bit of an artist, he loved creating anything and everything from painting to making things with steel, glass, wood and any other material at hand. I guess it's from his influence that I grew my love of steelworking, especially knifemaking.
I have, so far, a forge, blower and chimney. Now all I need is to finish building my workshop (which I'll do when the winter finally leaves) - so far I've just laid the foundations and put up the profiles. Then I need to buy an anvil and I'll start with some basic stuff.
Well, that's me...
