DevinThomas Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) This is my intro. Not too much to say, I'm afraid. Just getting started in blacksmithing. I'm going to be using an rr track anvil and brake drum forge, at least until I'm experienced enough to justify something fancier. I hope to sell stuff I make eventually. But mostly, for now, I'll settle for starting fires and smacking stuff with a hammer I forgot to mention, I have been reading this forum for a couple weeks now, so I won't ask too many simple questions (and I know how to use the search function!).

Frosty Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hey Devin, I said hi in your other post so I'll skip the usual patter. I'm primarily a hobbyist though I end up selling a little. One of the main reasons I do this stuff is I like playing with fire and hitting things with hammers. Make iron and steel act like putty is pretty darned cool.Frosty The Lucky.

DevinThomas Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 If you stick molten iron to a newspaper will the ink stick to the metal? If not, your putty comparison is only setting me up for heart break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) You can't just stick it to newspaper you have to knead it in your hands first and press it on evenly. What a silly putty question.Frosty The Lucky. Edited June 17, 2015 by Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE NEWBIE?????????? Welcome! Not to mention the snappy reparte right out of the gate.

ThomasPowers Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 http://xkcd.com/1530/ probably explains it.... Blacksmithing is probably the reason a lot of us are not incarcerated for "starting fires and smacking stuff with a hammer". You will fit right in!
