April 2, 200917 yr Hello -- I'm new to blacksmithing and bladesmithing, but as soon as the snow goes away, I'm firing up my little forge. So I just wanted to stop by and say hello. I've been lurking around IForgeIron for a while now and I gather that I don't need "pop-eye" arms after all -- I'll just be finessing those hot little molecules around. Seems doable for a woman my age! (Don't ask, WON'T tell :cool:)
April 2, 200917 yr My best student is a little gal about five foot nothing. She has no trouble. Go for it! Finnr
April 3, 200917 yr Howdy from East TEXAS!! and welcome to IFI!! Wouldn't EVEN think of asking your age!! I like having birthdays. Here is a link of another young lady that heats and beats on hot iron; Lorelei Sims - Artist Blacksmith / Welcome to the Vortex of Hot Metal You're right, you don't have to be 'monster armed' to do this. Once again, welcome.
