Hi all,
I'm excited to discover the IFI forums. I took my first blacksmithing course a year ago here in Manitoba and fell in love with the craft. It's so helpful to have a resource to come explore for answers that have already been posted and I'm eager to learn.
Transplant is my handle as I moved to Canada a year ago from the US, Amy's the name. It's nice to join and learn from the experience of so many of you.
Thanks

welcome to the group

Transplant, welcome to I Forge Iron.
I am pleased to read that that you have some training.
Having some basic training behind you will allow you to get started on the right foot.

Enjoy the trip so that some day you can give us some sound advice and then you can write a book!
Who Knows? The sky is the limit. :)
The very best to you as you develope your skills as a blacksmith Craftsman!

welcome to the family ! we are all good sorts, and there are no wrong questions.... (except "how do i make a sword?" ) :P

Welcome aboard Amy, glad to have you! Blacksmithing is an addictive craft, few things touch the soul like using humankind's oldest tools, fire and something to hit with coupled with our brains, thumbs and eyes to have our way with iron and steel the backbone of modern human civilization.

Doesn't that depend on who is asking about the sword John? <grin>
