keltic88 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hello, Looks like I stumbled upon another fine resource for my love of smithing. While I am a novice, I hope to really get on it this summer after I finish my propane forge. I have a coal forge, but alas, when the wind blows from the west, it goes right inside my neighbor's windows. So being a good neighbor, I only try to fire it up when their windows are closed. Only made a few things so far, but I have big aspirations. It's surprising the resources that you can find for a "dead" art. I find that it is neither dead or dying. Hope to find lots of ideas & information from y'all. Cheers, RedEdit: material edited by admin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
