reefera4m Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I don't know any place in Spokeane, but if you ever get over to the Seattle area you can work on it in my shop - no charge! Just PM me in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 First go to your local public library and ILL "The Complete Modern Blacksmith" by Weyger. In it he shows how he made a forge from a paint can and a chunk of pipe and used charcoal from a fireplace for fuel and a chunk of metal for an anvil. Using this forge he made a set of engraving chisels for doing woodcuts. I've forged in a hole in the ground before. You have a lot more available to youeself than you suspect! Second find the local ABANA Affiliate and start attending meetings You are on your way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
