Topher0079 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Hello everyone, My Name is Christopher, my friends call me Topher or Chris or some other things we wont get into now I am very new to the craft of Blacksmithing and looking to get started and I have been hanging around the site gathering information here and through books and from a co-worker of mine about the craft. I just wanted to say Hi to everyone and be seen I guess. Look forward to sharing information with you guys and be prepared I will most likely ask a ton of questions. I have taken advantage of the blog section and started one if you want to check it out it is Here Topher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Welcome aboard Topher and Dizzerak, glad to have ya! If you'll make your general location part of the section with your AVATAR it'll save us old curmudgeons from having to look through your profile. Seriously, you just never know when we might be in the neighborhood looking for a tasty snack or place to nap and it'd be just plain cruel to expect us ot remember who's in the area. I love good questions so I'll be looking forward to a ton of them. I really enjoy answering questions or making up stuff if I don't know the answer. Frosty the Lucky.
