JoshuaH Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Hello all. I started smithing none too long ago after befriending a couple of guys that make fantastic historical reproductions professionally. After watching and listening for a while I picked up a hammer myself. I was hooked the first time I struck hot metal. I have been helping a friend get a shop set-up and working with him at his place but once spring rolls around I hope to build my own shop and get it running as well. That's all for now. See you around. Quote
