Hi Luke......welcome to I F I!

Years ago I read another McRaven book that I liked really well.

I think it was called 'Country Blacksmithing'

Well....it was a few years ago!

Lukebailey, I welcome you to IFI.
First thing right out of the gate that I would like to ask you; "where do you live?
When you provide your location information up front, you would be surprised at the results you may receive. You may live very close to some other blacksmiths or a blacksmith guild and not even know it.
A general region is usually good enough especially if you live in another country.
But if you feel comfortable about providing a name of a city or a state, it is usually a more helpful tool for the members to use.
All you have to do is just go to the top of the forum page under USER CP and then to EDIT PROFILE and then to the bottom of the page and type in your location and save.
I hope you will keep in contact and let us know about your journey as a blacksmith.
I believe I speak for a lot of people who use this site; we would like to view your blacksmithing photos!
Be safe!
Old Rusty Ted
