Rio Bravo Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hi, I'm in Southern, Ontario (Canada; not California). I've lived around here pretty much my whole life except for 3 years in the mid-nineties when I lived in El Paso, TX. I'm a complete novice at this craft; hoping to pick some of your expert brains!

Frosty Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Welcome aboard Dave, glad to have ya. I see you like living just north of borders. I've heard of weirder things. A good place to get started is with a little reading, the "Getting Started and Lessons in Blacksmithing" sections are there to speed things up for the new comer. The "Blueprints" section if full of how to articles about, tools, equipment, and projects shared by working blacksmiths from around the world. The best part of course is pulling up a stump and yakking with the gang. Most of us have pretty pickable brains. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic Forge, eh? I'm currently living in Fergus, Ontario; "The Scottish Capital of Canada". And, all of your suggestions sound great. My niece's boyfriend is down your way playing hockey for the Thrashers...I might actually get there some day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_f Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hi Dave I started up with blacksmithing a short time ago as well. I'm just north of Kingston. If I can help out, get in touch, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
