TheGreenMan Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I'm a beginner smith in Cincinnati, OH. At the moment trying to teach my self how to make a knife (using what I can at the small apartment I have). I like all the info and help this site has to offer, unfortunately I am more of a 'seeing and doing' than a 'reading' type. Anyone in the Cinci area care to help this poor schmuck learn a thing or two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Lumpkins Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 There's some good info to be found on here. Welcome to the site. you may want to try and find a local blacksmith group and joiin them.. I looked on line and the closest I found was a club in Troy,Oh.. thats exit 73 on I-75 .. it would be along drive for you.. You may contact them and they may know of a club in your area.. here's the link..Southern Ohio Forge and Anvil (SOFA) Blacksmith Association Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Welcome aboard Greenman, glad to have ya. Well, for apartment bladesmithing I recommend a bean can forge and similar small equipment. I also suggest you learn some general smithing before you start trying to make a knife. There's a lot more to it than meets the eye.

Tom Lumpkins Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 May have to get me one of those "Bean Can Forges" That would probably work good in my big Truck Frosty.. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
