Jon Reece Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 My names Jon, and I am just getting started on my blacksmithing. I am looking for a master to work with/for, but until then, I love working on my own, and learning as much as I can. Just move to barrie ontario..... never was really good at these about me things.... but wanted to say hi, and introduce myself. cheers all.

ThomasPowers Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Welcome and let me put in the usual plug for you to put your general location into your profile so everytime you post it's there for people to see and say---"why he's just down the road from me! I wonder if he would like to carpool to the next meeting..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Reece Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 thanks everyone and I updated location. Right now, my only "project" is actually building a forge (the building) and acquiring some more (better) tools and a heavy anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sask Mark Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Hi Jon. Welcome! Here's an anvil near Caledonia. It looks like a Peter Wright and, taking a guess based on the dimensions, it looks to be in the 200 pound range. Only $75! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
