I have been smithing on and off for several years as a hobby however most of my tools and iron come from my real job as a farmer.
(starting faq section)
No I do not have any livestock.
No I don't shoe or like horses.
Yes that is my real job.
(ending Faq section)
At the momment I enjoy forging/fabracating tools metalworking, woodworking. My father got me started in metalworking for repairing equipment and in woodworking for the repair of the house, shed etc. Turns out I enjoy the work but I prefer it as a hobby, less rush that way.

(Sorry about the Faq sounding rough but I get asked the same questions alot when poeple discover I farm. Not unlike blacksmithing where everyone wants a sword....)

I gotta ask, when you farm what is it you are trying to make grow, raise, produce, etc?

Welcome to the forum.

Usually peanuts, wheat, soybeans, cotton, and sometimes corn.
