Iron123 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 I think this topic was misnamed by me sry guys it was supposed to be Arizona but I'm here and wanna start smithing soon and what do you mean it's cold? Is it cold in your location Thomas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Eric: Glad to see you've made it safely and better still your kit made it too. Just get used to seeing Arizonans wearing parkas if the temp plummets below 50f. How about updating your location in the header so we'll know where you've landed. Frosty The Lucky.

ThomasPowers Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Why yes! This morning when I went to work I felt like I should have worn a long sleeved shirt and I DIDN'T need to wear my *sunglasses*! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy k Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Eric - did you move to Arizona or Alaska? - your profile says Alaska, kinda confusing since you posted in the Alaskan Blacksmithing Associations group forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Why yes! This morning when I went to work I felt like I should have worn a long sleeved shirt and I DIDN'T need to wear my *sunglasses*! You have my sincere sympathy Thomas but it's trials like these that strengthen us. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Eric - did you move to Arizona or Alaska? - your profile says Alaska, kinda confusing since you posted in the Alaskan Blacksmithing Associations group forum. Eric moved from Anchorage AK to some undisclosed location in Arizona. He's a teenager so expect confusing. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozenforge Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 You should go check out the goldfield ghost town just east of Pheonix by superstition mountain. Its kinda atiurist trap but there is some old metal working laying around on display and there was a shop selling items made at the smith shop there. I enjoyed looking at all the old iron equipment and the items made at the metal shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWHII Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 You should put Nov. 9 on your calendar. The AABA will be having our state demo in Tucson featuring Mark Aspery. All the details can be found on the AABA web site. This is a demo not to be missed. He will be demoing traditional joinery technecs from his new book.

Frosty Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Ah good, now we know where you went Eric! I'm afraid I haven't made much of anything cool recently, been busy with life stuff. I've been trying to keep at a tire hammer for Tristan but doing it a bit at a time. You REALLY need to make the AABA meet and get in touch with the guys you now live near. Harold is a great guy, fun character and excellent smith. Thomas and I've been online friends for quite some time now, I don't know anyone with a better historical blacksmithing and iron in general library. Definately the guy to ask about doing period work. Arizona is a favorite state of mine but you gotta like the desert in all it's faces. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
