Greetings & Salivations

Greetings Awl

Let's see. Moved to rural Indiana from
one of the U.S.'s Steel capitals, so naturally
it was when I was surrounded by corn
that I developed an interest in blacksmithing.

Got interested in "appropriate technology"
self sufficiency, voluntary simplicity and
alla that and thence Roy Underhill

The Woodwright's Shop

and thence
Don Weber

Don Weber's Handcraft Woodworks

Both of them make, or made their own
tools at one time or another and so
naturally....Wife suggested I take a
summer week long class at the local
U in blacksmithing 2 years ago and
that was it. Not sure which I prefer,
yet, woodworking or blacksmithing,
but both give me an excuse to go
to auctions and acquire old tools.

altho have not really attended due to
proximity, the price of fuel, and to many
Honeydo's... In Ohio there's a closer
bunch:

OKI Forgers

I joined up with them too. The president's wife
decided he had at least one too many anvils
so I got that and then attendance at various
farm auctions lead to the rest. More than
you could want to know about me here:
