Redbeard920 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Hi all I've been perusing this site for a few weeks now so I figured I should introduce myself. Well where to start... I've been told I have an old timey soul. Im of the generation of the techy but I would much rather use tools you power yourself. Dont get me wrong modern convinence is nice but there is something about having to make new tools in order to make a final product... I'm what you guys would consider a youngster but I know the value of sweat and blood. I'm a bit of a wanderer, I've lived in South Africa and the surounding area, New York, and Alaska, and have finally settled down in NE WI with my beautiful and understanding wife. I'm still very much a novice at smithing but enjoy working and burning metal. My current project is slowly taking over the garage and turning it into my smith. Thanks for the help I have recieved so far and will recieve in the future! I look forward to meeting any of you in the area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Olivo Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Welcome from the twin cities. What got you interested in smith work? I am lucky my wife met me when the garage was already filled with steel and tools so she already accepts that state of things :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Note that Smith is a PERSON, Smithy is the place. Hope you have some good smithing weather soon up there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will. K. Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Welcome aboard! I'm up in Neenah. Let me know if your looking for any tools or materials. I have orders from my fiancé to clear out some of the clutter in my garage & shed before I'm allowed to bring home any new clutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
