Hi everyone. I started my blacksmithing journey this year. Like the title says, I was researching making a wood plane. That led to blade hardening which led to forge building and down the rabbit hole I went. I found learning blacksmithing techniques much more enjoyable. I'm in the tool building stage, tongs, punches, hardy tools, etc. Big thanks to Frosty and Wayne Coe. We haven't spoken but I followed your wealth of knowledge in successfully building my first forge. Freon can/venturi. It's going strong, serving me well. Although by resume says I'm a Computer Engineer, my strengths are troubleshooting systems. I can't shake the time I spent doing HVAC work in my early years and keep getting my hands dirty in the fun stuff. My current project is a NG ribbon burner forge. I'm still in the designing stages and will post some questions soon. Thanks all and if you were curious, no, I still haven't made that wood plane
