October 12, 201411 yr Hello all, I've recently moved into an apartment in Dallas from east Texas. As some of you may know, apartment complexes generally don't view blacksmithing on the property favourably. Some swill about fire hazards, noise pollution, smoke, etc. Since it is difficult to make it back home to my parents house to light the forge, I was wondering if anyone had a smithy in Dallas they wouldn't mind sharing with a po boy like me. I like long walks on the beach, and all that. I'd provide my own materials and pay for fuel, I might even be your friend (ok, I'll throw in the friendship with the deal). :) -Chance
October 12, 201411 yr I'll be up in stephenville around July, going to Tarelton. You'll be welcome after I move up there.
October 12, 201411 yr Author Thanks for the kindness, but Stephenville is about the same distance as my parents house. Hope things go well for you at Tarelton!
October 12, 201411 yr This next summer, I bought a brand new 150lb anvil, got a hand crank buffalo blower, and a 12" round pass forge firepot. I'm about to build my new forge. Got some of the stuff together to make a small propane forge for knife making also. Going to make tools first mostly, all the tongs I think I'll need, hot cutting chisels, hardy tools, and that stuff. Hopefully I'll have a decent collection by the time I get to Stephenville.
