Bo T Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I've just become interested in blacksmithing and I am exploring it as a retirement hobby sometime in the future. I've been a member of bladeforums for a couple of years and a member of hypefreeblades for a couple of months. I recently completed my first forged blade at a local blacksmiths and discovered that I am somewhat artistically challenged. I will be starting a build on my first forge in the next few weeks. I'm looking foreward to learning more about blacksmithing. Bo T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstermetal Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Washington has a really high blacksmith/bladesmith count... If you can plan on making it to the Western States conference at Mt Hood late this summer. Will be a great show with some top notch demonstrators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
