December 17, 200916 yr Hi: Just joined recently. From So California. New at blacksmithing. I have read a lot of stuff. Trying to get set up to do wrought iron fencing & gates. Hopefully a knife and other stuff eventually. -mike-
December 17, 200916 yr Welcome aboard Mike, glad to have ya. There're a lot of things that sell you can use to learn smithing before getting into blades. Fences, gates and the like are good but you have to be sure of your joinery or as the manufacturer you may find yourself liable if something breaks and someone gets hurt. On that note, get good before you do railings, banisters, stairways and the like, lots of people put a lot of force on railings. Frosty
