October 28, 201312 yr Hello folks! my name is Justin and im originally from Knoxville, TN, but currently stationed in Fort Worth, TX. I am an Logistics Specialist in the US Navy. I have been interested in smithing for a looong time. My old man used to take me up to his uncles house when i was younger and we would watch him make just about any ol thing out of iron. I bought my first anvil and now i have purchased a post vise.
October 28, 201312 yr Welcome to the world of blacksmithing. It sounds like you are off to a good start.
October 28, 201312 yr Howdy from East TEXAS!! and welcome to IFI! Justin, hook up with the North Texas Blacksmith Assoc. http://ntxba.org/ IIRC they meet on the 2nd Sat of each month. Great bunch of folks to play with and they are always happy to have a newbie join them. If you ever get this far east give me a call, my shop is always open.
October 28, 201312 yr Welcome to IFI, but more importantly thanks for serving! Dad was navy 40 years back and I was army some 20+ years ago.
