I Forge Iron

Journeyman with no where to go


Recommended Posts

This topic was started by the one who started it about where to go, not to be taken over by everyone posting pics.... I thought.......

Plenty of pictures in the rest of the topics.... I love the pictures in this forum ..... Lots of very clever ppl, and sometimes, they wanna just talk.....Im guessing.

Thanks to all, hopefully I will get to come work with you one day mr Dillion and old rusty too if you don't have anything for me to do now maybe one day... I have plans to learn from as many people as I can and don't really look at this as a one time deal but something to do though out my life to learn.
I have found somebody to head to and Oakland is where I am headed with the abundance of smiths in that area I have a good base to work from and will likely learn many things
From many people, I may. Work my way up the coast until I end up home or head to Europe afterwards I really don't know
Brian has really helped me and I have learned alot of things that I will work with though out my life and be able to approach forging with a much greater understanding from now on, it's up to me to continue and find new things to learn and experiment with, working with other people will test. My limits of knowledge, this is really the best way to learn.

I practiced on my own enough to realize I was doing a lot of things wrong but I didn't know how to fix it


So far every part of the experience I would not change, I am just going forward and I have no problem with failing and I really don't want to stop doing this.

Eventually I will have most of the pieces, but you can never have them all

Jake James in Vancouver BC would be a GREAT contact. He is a Hereford graduate and has some interesting stories about doing some journeying in Southeast Asia. He works alone and may even be of help in that direction. I believe he can be found through NWBA site. If you can't find him let me know and I can help. I was up there a while back and bought a fly press from him.

You can use the edit button and erase it but the post will stay so you must say something in it. Usually something like "duplicate post etc.."
