Ben van Leeuwen Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 So I've been lurking about this site a while now, and decided it was time to join up so I can ask some questions. I've got an interest in setting up a forge in my garage and seeing what I can do to with some heat and a hammer. I know smithing can be fairly tool heavy, so I am just taking my time looking for the odd deal on some decent hammers and a pair of tongs. I have my mind set on trying to make a wash bucket charcoal forge, and I have a small chunk of railway track that the previous owners of the house left me. Looking forward to absorbing as much information as I can here, just as much as I am looking forward to getting a hammer in my hand and giving it a go.

ThomasPowers Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Will you be going to Quad-State? I'm selling off a bucket of ballpeens at US$2 a piece there. I know several folks from Canada who attend especially to "tool up". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben van Leeuwen Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Unfortunately I will not be going. It certainly looks like an event that I should be planning on attending next year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
