Reinier Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hello everybody, My name is Reinier and I'm from the Netherlands. I've been blacksmithing for 7 or 8 years now, and since the end of summer last year I am working in a historical shop from 1911. This shop is situated on the largest wharf of the former Zuiderzee in the Netherlands. Therefore I am asked to forge stuff concerning historical boats. So if there's anyone who has any experience with this, I'd be very thankful if you'd share your knowledge with me. I am looking forward to exchange ideas, projects, pictures and techniques with you all. All the best, Reinier I have attached a picture of the outside of my shop, on the background you can see the old windmill. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Bruce Wilcox shows up here every now and then; just retired as an island smith and has done a lot of stuff for boats over his career I bet! His anchor forging is well known. Welcome, my parents spent 4 years in Naarden and so I was able to visit there a couple of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
