Frosty Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Welcome aboard Ryan, glad to have ya. If you'll click "User CP" and edit your profile to show your location it'll make a big difference.

Quenchcrack Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Welcome, Zuk! I used to live in Calgary and I know exactly why you like blacksmithing: the forge gives off enough heat to prevent frost bite on those balmy Summer mornings!

TASMITH Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Welcome fellow Canuck. you have come to the right place. Great people on here and all the information you can handle. Also you probably have noticed by Quenchcracks comments that some have a tendency to offer tid bits on the lighter side as well:D Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuk Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Thanks for the warm welcome guys frosty I took your advice and added my location. And element I think you may be spot on there Ive always been intrigued by blacksmithing and like to be self sufficient and not have to rely on others if it isnt neccessary.
