  1. Hello all. Just wanted to stop in and introduce myself. I've been lurking around for a few weeks and actually joined about a week ago. I've learned quite a bit just following the threads. I'm a 50 something newbie to blacksmithing, and by newbie, I mean brand new. I've yet to make a single hammer blow on hot steel. I have, however, built a JABOD style forge during the 3-day weekend last week based on a thread I found here on these forums. I live in the little rural town of Helenwood in Scott County, Tennessee, about an hour north of Knoxville. I've come close to starting into blacksmithing several times over the last 15 years or so, but have never pulled the trigger. Looks like I'm fully committed this time, as all the stuff I'll need to get started should be arriving tomorrow. Anyway, thanks to all you guys that have contributed to these forums and have already taught me several things I needed to know and offered tips to get me started on the right foot. Dale
  2. I'm brand new to all this, but this design looked like something I could do. I got it burning today just to try it out. I've got some airflow problems to work out. It threw way too many sparks even with the valve thrown wide open. Still, I'm quite pleased. My makeshift hunk of steel anvil should be here Thursday.
