DBox Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I just found this site and it looks great. I've had my forge for about 35 years now. I had a friend who's Dad had a forge and he taught us some when I was about 10 or12 tears old. I got my own set up when I was 14. I have my Grandfather's anvil and vise and I got my blower from an Uncle. It has been set up and used, then stored and forgotten for a while several times. I've been back at work with it for a year or two now. My interest now has turned to knives and hawks. It takes a while to get the heat treatment back into my head but it's coming on.
