Ferrous Beuler Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 :D Cool! just found this forum and registered so I can hopefully find a smithing buddy in my neck of the woods. Green as the grass. Have most eguipment to start with. Need a firepot/ tuyere the other essentials I have, 130lb and 263lb anvils, 6" post vise, buffalo forge blower and a few various tongs. On a mission to find that firepot so I can get going.Last saturday attended meeting of local chapter new york state designer blacksmiths where I forged my first piece of scrap- a real beauty! Actually it began well as my first experience was to perform a forge weld which turned out fine and then commenced to proceed with what was to be a poker but on one of the heats I got distracted just long enough to burn it up. A hard lesson and sure to be a lasting one. Would love to find another smithing enthousiast locally so we can make beautiful scrap together.
