ofafeather Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hi, All. I'm new to the blacksmithing art and have joined your fair group to get more info. I've participated in one hammer-in and loved the experience. I'm looking to build a gas forge soon and acquire some tools. My wife is also interested in learning so we'll see where we go from here. Thanks for the great forum.~Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ofafeather Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the welcomes. I've already joined the Northeast Blacksmiths and attended a hammer in there. I don't think there is a link here so here it is. http://www.northeastblacksmiths.org/ Edited October 12, 2009 by ofafeather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see your forge at some point. I am looking at building my own soon. What's yours like?~Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
