Hello, I've been smithing off and on for about 7 years, mainly making knives. When I used to shoot pistol competitively, I found out my main coach did blacksmithing at his house. He invited me to come down and learn smithing, after that I was hooked. I worked in a machine shop and found it came in handy with learning how to form tools and harden them. Thanks for the forum! I was looking for one like this for awhile. thank you.
