Paige Price Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Hello to everyone! I am so glad to have found such a cool site. I cant wait to get to know some of you, and possibly meet also. I would like to forge with others. I am kinda an outsider in the little town I live in, due to the noise, fires, and yard full of scrap and sculptures. My neighboors all seem to tolerate me so far, I am grateful for that. I have a friend here who is currently building a couple of furnices and setting up a shop in one of his barns next to his country home. Maybe most of my noise will happen there soon. Then again, it is so nice to have tools and stock right in my own garage. Well, hello again and please dont be shy about contacting me. I am always wanting to talk to like minded people. Good day & good Fires! Let the rust remain! Paige Quote

Uncle Levi Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 Hi Paige, Interesting that you're in Illinois. I grew up just south of Springfield and still have brothers and sisters there. But I'm a "NODAK" now. Welcome to the forum. I'm new here,too. Levi Quote

Wim Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Hi Paige, Welcome to the site. You are amongst fire and metal lovers. We all are the odd duck in the bite where we live. It's part of being a blacksmith. I have learned a lot in the last month, just by asking questions, and then later checking reactions. Regards, Wim Quote
