Howdy, I am from Eckford, Michigan. I have been smithing for about 2 years as a hobby. I have taken a few classes at Tillers in Kalamazoo Michigan. This summer I built a new shop out of logs, and have just about finished the forge itself. I posted some photos of the new forge in the galleries area. This seems like a really great site, and I am looking forward to being a part of it.
