HWHII Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Welcome Doug! Where in AZ are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Welcome aboard Doug, glad to have you. I'd warn you about persuing the urge as blacksmithing is an addictive craft but what the hey, I like spreading the affliction. Nothing speaks to the soul like using mankind's two oldest tools, fire and something to hit with to bend steel to our will. Hook up with Harold if you can, he's a great guy. Oh yeah, if you decide to visit some decent temperatures look me up, Alaska is a pleasant place with good fishing. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faber Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I'm in Tucson too,not far from the base. Just joined IFI and am currently taking lessons when I can with Harold from holy hammer iron works, cool guy. I also just finished paying off a 300# peter Wright, can't wait to get the rest of what I need so I can start forging in my own shop.
