Rotten Luck Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Hello to everyone, I stumbled on to this site over a week ago and have been learning from your posts and admiring your work since. Rather than just continuing to visit I decided to create an account and step up to introduce myself and get involved. I am currently in my mid 30's, married and have two teen aged sons. I'm a die hard do it yourselfer and have a work back ground in carpentry and mechanical and electrical repair. I've been interested in metal working since my early teens and have recently, spurred by the intrest of my sons, found opportunity to do somthing with it. Several months ago I was able to purchase a mig welder and oxegen acetylene torches, and one of the first projects we started was to build a propane forge. The forge is nearly complete, and perhaps today we will finish it off and heat our first bits of steel. We also have aquired an old 155 lb. anvil, that I know nothing about, and a few hammers. The first thing I intend to forge is a few pairs of tongs. In closing I would like to say that this is a great web community, and would like to thank all the members for making it what it is. I have enjoyed everyting that I have seen here so far, and look forward to everything that is yet to come. For those interested I have up[loaded photos of my forge and anvil to the gallery. When I figure out how, I will link the images into the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
