March 15, 201313 yr Bought a Champion off some old fart collecting junk, and finally swung a hammer tonight. I nailed down an RR anvil to a stump and went to town. I'm out of shape, singed my beard, look like soot, and burned some prints off my right hand. I feel fantastic. There's nothing more humbling.
March 15, 201313 yr Allow me to be the first to say "Welcome to the addiction!!!". Many happy returns. Lets us know where you are and we will try to hook you up with the local support group. ;)
March 15, 201313 yr Greetings, The difference between a bad blacksmith a OK blacksmith and a great blacksmith is education... When I started I could not even spell old fart now I am one.... Press on and stay safe
March 15, 201313 yr Author Thanks! I'm in northwest Indiana, US. The Indiana ABANA chapter has members East and South of me, but none here really close by. I signed up for a crash course in October at Conner's Prairie in Fishers and I've lost count of how many resources I've read/watched on the web. I'll just bang away on my own until I go down there for some real guidance.
