drax Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hi all, Just a quick intro after lurking around for a while. Background for me is I have been in the fabrication game for the last 16years mostly truck,car and prison industry's. Always had a passion for old gear and thought I would dable in this dying art. One of the big reasons is so i can teach my boys later on. I have built a 55 forge, found a 4inch leg vise, also a nice 80lbs Swedish anvil that has had barely any work. So yeah that's it I guess, howdy.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Welcome aboard Drax glad to have you. If you put your general location in your header us old farts won't have to rely on our memories when we're traveling and want a snack or beer. Of course there's the surprising number of blacksmiths you'll discover within visiting distance. This is very much a more the merrier craft, the more contacts the more available tool and equipment deals are and the more things you don't have to figure out yourself. Frosty The Lucky.
