November 24, 201411 yr 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.
November 24, 201411 yr Very nice! My first 2 items were an s hook and a chili pepper ornament. Definitely got me "hooked."
November 25, 201411 yr If she takes it up along with you, consider yourself lucky. Can you say, "striker"?
November 25, 201411 yr Author If she takes it up along with you, consider yourself lucky. Can you say, "striker"? Haha yup slowly work her up to the big hammers :)
November 25, 201411 yr 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.
November 25, 201411 yr Author Lol but I want the big anvil !!! I guess I'll have to find another now!
November 25, 201411 yr 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?)
