Richie'66 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hi , I'm Richie from Keith which is in North East Scotland. I've been into knife making for as long as I can remember (and I'm 43 ). I thought it was about time I explored this craft more fully and so joined your forum with a hope of learning lots. I have my own anvil and have recently made a charcoal forge out of what was available around the workshop.I would also like to learn more about how to make the tools to do my bladesmithing so expect some stupid questions.

Richie'66 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Cheers for the welcome , your right I've been on here most of the day , and there's so much info I don't know where to start. First job will be to make a couple of decent (LOL) tongs , but have a knife job for a mate of mine that's paying some money. I'm currently unemployed so have alot of time on my hands and as I have to stay at home in case one of the kids needs me this blackmithing thing could be just the job for me. Anyway it's good to be here. Richie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
