Nomad Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Hello all, My name is Nathan, I'm pretty good at burning myself, and one of these days I might change the shape of a metalic object! I'm a really amature smith that hasn't lit a forge since I moved a year ago. I decided to surf by the site (it's been longer than a year) and things have changed. It looks great! I've never worked along side another smith and have learned a lot from sites like this one and the people I've met through them (evn'n Jr.) so I wanted to say Thanks to Glen in advance.

Blacksmith Jim Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Hey Nomad! Welcome from the Pacific Northwest! It seems like there are a fair amount of smiths around these parts. I bet you can find someone near you to bs with about stuff. Did you go up to Seattle for the ABANA conference that was held recently? I saw some pics and it looked pretty amazing.

Glenn Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Nomad, you are now working beside every smith that logs into the I Forge Iron site. And not from your state, but from all over the world. It is the contributors that have made the site what it is today. I have the privledge of operating the keyboard. I think you for the kind words. We are all here to help others and advance the craft. Ask questions and get answers. The archive is a wonderful place as the full discussion on any topic is grouped together in one place. The search engines are another source for where to look for information. Welcome to the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
