Hi.
I have had a very technology centric life since college. I have always liked using my hands though. Some people call it handy, I call it capable. Blacksmithing appears to be everything I have been craving my entire life. Problem/puzzle solving, creativity and very useful. Very much looking forward to learning all my brain will hold about blacksmithing. I have a dual burner forge, a small piece of rail, and a few hammers and tongs I have refurbished. Good beginner setup I think. Just need a vice that can handle blacksmithing work. And eventually I will get a real anvil when I feel I have advanced enough. All in all, I love hitting hot metal. Glad to have found iforgeiron.
