Doing my introduction and saying hi.

 

I have been smithing off and on for over 10 years as allowed by living arrangements and work. My interests are primarily blade smithing and tool smithing. I currently/usually use a charcoal forge, but I have a simple propane one (that is on loan to my brother). I am still pretty new to smithing in terms of actual forge time, but am pretty well read on it. I just finished a blade project (that I'll post in the appropriate forum) and am working on railroad spike tomahawks and a small knife made from a broken ratchet wrench. I have read this forum for a long time, but this is my first post.

Welcome. :D

Good Morning,

 

There are a huge amount of talented people here. Please don't be shy about tapping into the reservoir of opinions and thoughts.

 

Welcome from the other coast, the Left Coast. Some call it the Wet Coast, it is not the White Coast (we only get a week of snow/year, maybe).

 

Enjoy the journey.

 

Neil

Good to see someone else from this area!
