canman Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 :cool: Hello, My name is Kevin and this is my first time here. I am new to blacksmithing. I have been a machinist and welder-fabricator for years. I thought I would try blacksmithing. I am currently building a coal fired forge. I hope to have it completed in a week or two. I have very little time available so anything I attempt will take awhile. I am always open for any information, links, tales you are willing to share. I always like learning new (or old) ways.

turkeykirk Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I saw where you posted a message about making a knife from a file and thought you might be interested in an up coming knife makers hammerin that our blacksmith guild is having October 7th and 8th, 2006. It will be held at Liberty Hill Forge at 1016 Van Buren Road, Barnesville, Ga 30204. You can contact DeWayne Frost at 770-358-1426 for more info. Hope this helps.
