Just joined the forum. Live in western NC foothills. Been wanting to get into blacksmithing for a few years but it was intimidating to start with. just pulled the trigger. Bought a wilkinsons anvil from 1860-1890 era i believe and made a wood stand. Built a simple 1 burner propane forge and frosty t burner. works great. made a few drawer handles for my dresser cause the wifes been complaining theyre all broke. just made a set of tongs that may look like hammered dog xxxx but are functional and i learned alot in the process. I look forward to posting my stuff to some feedback and learn from this forum. Thanks
