Hey guys, I've been a long time lurker and decided it's about time I properly introduce myself. I work a traditional 8-5, but after work and weekends I love to go out in the garage and build/weld/smith anything as long as it's outside. My brother and I have been smithing for a bout a year and a half, and we're on our 3rd forge design; I've lost count the number of times I have changed our burner design. Currently I am running a ribbon burner we casted out of Mizzou castable refractory and I'm loving it! I'm around the Dallas area and would love to meet other Smith's in the area! The little bit of space I have to use for my shop and the little bit of knowledge I have on the subject I'm more than happy to share with anyone local to the area! I have a spare forge and burner I'd be happy to lend or give a new Smith just looking to get there feet wet. I look forward to being apart of this community and continuing to learn together!
Unfortunately, work has me in Fresno, CA for a month away from my shop, so if there's any smiths or fellow hobbyists within a few hours of hear I am dying to swing a hammer!
