Frosty Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Welcome aboard Robert, glad to have ya. A good start is to read through the "Getting started, Lessons in blacksmithing and Blue prints" sections of IFI. The Gallery is a great place for inspiration too. The search function found at the to of the page is another great way to find specific info. Just take a lunch and something to drink, it's easy to lose yourself and need to keep up your strength. Oh yeah, you can always just ask. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Browne Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Welcome to IFI Robert. If you follow Frosty's advice and start on the Getting Started articles make sure you lay in a good supply of food and beer :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
