MRobb Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Hey there caver95. Welcome to the site ( and to blacksmithing ). I agree with both Glenn & jimmy. It is fun & infectious. But you have come to the right place. Plenty of knowledgable people & loads of info. What part of Fla are you from? I'm in Tampa. Doesn't seem to be as many blacksmiths in Fla as in other areas of the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear there is a local club that meets once a month. What part of tampa are you in I grew up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caver95 Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 I am going to build the forge 55 for now, I have my brake drum, and 55 gal drum, I am going to put some fire brink in it to make it last a little longer. i need a pair of tongs, but after I have that I think I can make everything else. I will take some pics along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
