ellen.williams Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Hi, I am a new blacksmith/metal worker. I started by taking some classes at the Crucible in Oakland, CA, one of which was a forge building class. I have been at it for about 2 years, and I just completed my first paid job: 10 trellis brackets I designed and forged for a contractor friend of mine. I am here for tips on everything from shop/tools to artistry. Ellen Quote
Frosty Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Welcome aboard Ellen, glad to have you. If you've been doing this for two years already, you hardly count as a newby so we'll expect some ideas, tips and such from you too. And pictures, we LOVE pictures, the more the better. Starting out with your recently completed commission would be perfect. Frosty Quote
