I buy nice straight smooth bars and when I am done they are not that way any more. Some people like what I have done to the bars they help pay my bills, and also for the next nice bars. Also I would rather understate than over state.

mine's just a play on words......took ornamental metalsmith.........and got Ornametalsmith.
Used to be just ORNAmetal.....

MY NAME IS PETE [their are alott of pete,s out there ] so I added my age.
MAY HAVE TO CHANGE IT TO PETE48 IN MAY!

my name is Steve Hansl,i have Steve Hansl Blacksmithing as a side business.

I AM an artist, but I don't want to sound like a braggart, plus I think it is a little funny, and I smile inside whenever I read it.

Well, those of you who know me know that my real name is Dallas de Marr. However, I do wish to change my first name to Vladimir-- not to be cool or anything, but I just 'feel' like a Vladimir, if that makes any sense. I am just waiting on the extra money to do so. All of the people who know me online know me as Vlad, unless I've spoken to them in person (or they insist on calling me by the name they see on my WRABA ID card, Richard! ). Marenus is actually the first name of a Hero from a fictional Sci-fi universe, and it sounded good with Vladimir. :P

your real name is like one someone would change their real name to have.i thought Vladimir was your real name and when you add blacksmith after it is perfect.Vladimir Marenus Blacksmithing.but then what do i know,my last name is Hansl.maybe when you have changed names i can use the other?? LOL

I've worked in the imageing industry for most of my life including work as a darkroom assistant, photographer, television cameraman, lighting director, vision engineer etc

greek god of the forge. its wishful thinking on my part, im so new i dont even know what fuller means. haha.

My SCA name is Justin Stephen Caradoc. I chose that name because I have always liked the name Justin. Most of my frineds call me Justin to boot.

Well, If you look at my picture, you'll see that I'm NOT very "Curly". I picked up that part of the name a long time ago, when I first started buckskinning. The George part I've had for 57 years, now.

Iron Rose Farms is what we call our business' (not that we make much money at them) Truck patch farming and a bit of livestock plus my blacksmithing... Real Name is James Rader

Civilwarblacksmith

I'm a civil war re-enactor that portrays a period blacksmith.

my name is geof..and im a smith

My Name is William Warren Weathersby (yes its a mouthfull) so tri means three and W you can figure out. Back in the 'old' days of CB radios my handle was triwscout (I was a scout master) and I have used that for my nick name.

Picked coltpax cause its not used much and it is easier than my real name, Colton Paxton. Also, its cool to say that if you add two tons to my screenname, you get my real name.

Doug C...My whole name is Frederick Douglas Cummings. Gone by Doug to avoid confusion with my dad who was Frederick. If I say something I ought to be willing to sign my name to it. It keeps me from saying too many foolish things.

Golden eagle is the name of my forge... So thats what i used.

1860cooper is unique to me to this forum, since my normal screen name has no relevance to blacksmithing. I wanted my emphasis right out in front because I am finding getting into 19th century coopering so pathetically difficult (most coopers are either modern, or 18th century).

I don't mind people knowing I am Jonathan Devine. It's just that the convention with screen names is that you find your unique name, because there are lots of people out there with the same real name as me. In a sense a good screen name is a better identifier than your real name, at least on the internet. In switching back to real life that might be different.

Thats my profession (or what I do during the week when I cant forge)

Ted Scott
Dermatology Nurse Practitioner

Based on my name; Larry Nevers Jr. On other non blacksmith forums I've used the logon of ApeStar, for my Yamaha V-Star motorcycle with the 13" ape hanger handle bars. Generally though I like people to know me as I am.

sabre is a name i found on the back of a deck of playing cards!!!!

Its my Name.....

Facium; In latin it usualy means to build or to make. It is is the latin root word for fabrication.
I came across the quote "Aut invenium, aut facium" while reading a military history of the officer that gave the order to shoot, when Stonewall Jackson was killed (accidently) by his own men. I do not remember the officer or the military institute he attended, but the institues motto "Aut invenium, aut facium" (I will find a way or make one) I have made my own.
It has has been a constant reminder that we can only "find a way" when we look, and we can only "make a way" when we work.

My real name is,
Michael A. Crowther

After registering several accounts on the internet i got frustrated that some names are taken. So i emptied my head an tried to think of a name none had so i could use it everywhere. And for some reason melon seeds (melon k
