It is a pleasure to join the group. My father and I have recently started up the forge here in New Mexico. I have always enjoyed being in the shop, and especially enjoy design and manufacturing. Blacksmithing has become a great way to spend down time and bring together a lot of the interests that I have gotten into in the years. The more I learn the more I realize I don't know. In these times it is hard to find a mentor or any resources that are available, and I look forward to a new group of like minded individuals to help me on my journey of blacksmithing. I look forward to any ideas you have as a first project, or anything you recommend I should do as a budding blacksmith.
