As a wood worker an aspect of blacksmithing you're going to find deep satisfaction in is the ability to make your own tools. Seriously, when was the last time you saw a cove blade for a plane at True Value? The guys here can tell you how good it feels to use tools you've made with your own hands. It's a huge ego boost to run into a problem, forge the solution and put paid to the "problem." Problem? THAT was a "problem? HAH!
Again, welcome aboard.
