NickOHH Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Spent some time breaking in the new brooks 100#er today and taught the girlfriend some basics , but I may be in trouble I think we have a natural! Had her make a couple hooks that came out pretty nice for her first experience with the forge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Du7ch Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Very nice! My first 2 items were an s hook and a chili pepper ornament. Definitely got me "hooked." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beammeupscotty Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 If she takes it up along with you, consider yourself lucky. Can you say, "striker"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles R. Stevens Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Nothing wrong with that, least now you know what to get her for christmas. Tho get her the big anvil and the big sledge. As you will be her striker, you can get by with the small anvil and sledgees, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickOHH Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Lol but I want the big anvil !!! I guess I'll have to find another now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Beats sleeping on the couch because you bought her a vacuum for Christmas... Present her with a nice, dresed 8# slege (you dont want to strain your self when you strike for her) and get a 4# hand slege and dress and rehandle it so she can strike with it, and keep it by "your" anvil Yes ladies I know Beth and others swing "real" hammers, heck I grab the 14# and Dad swings a 10# sledge when he strikes for me. But lets not scare her off. Ease her in to the fraternity (sarority?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
