paul hooper Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 In an attempt to stop that really annoying message asking me to make a first post here goes. I'm from UK, been blacksmithing part time for 10 years, though it seems like forever! I prefer tool making for other crafts people and machinery fabrication, I do have a tendency to think "more steel = better machine" which is probably a common trait amongst those of us who hit hot things with hammers. I do a bit of casting with a cupola, especially at night cos I love the exhaust flames. Oh an I'm a bit partial to cannon (every home should have one!). Usual small boy in adult body that come under heading blacksmith really. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TASMITH Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Welcome Paul. You have found the right place for being a 'KID' in an adult body . This forum brings back the excitement of learning and playing just like when we actually were "KIDS". It is also one of the best places for fellowship in this trade on the net. Enjoy your stay.
