December 19, 200718 yr Howdy to all... I'm John. I'm from Waitsburg, down in the lower right corner of Washington... I'm an apprentice knife maker and a beginner at forge work. My mentor is J.L. Stewart of "Hot Damn Forge" located near Port Townsend, WA. I'm lucky enough to have put together a work area with a propane powered forge, a decent 115lb anvil, a leg vise, a Grizzly belt grinder, some hand tools and a big pile of "desire"... Being the babe-in-the-woods that I am, I'm really looking forward to learning the basics and hopefully more from this site and you all...
December 19, 200718 yr Go to the opening page of IForgeIron.com > Getting Started, and follow the information trail. It will answer a lot of your questions, and provide answers to questions you have not ask yet. But always feel free to ask questions in the forum. Nothing like getting specific answers to a specific question. Welcome to IForgeIron.
December 19, 200718 yr Hey there John. Welcome! I am also a "newbie" to smithing. There are many of us around, it seems. The "old timers" ( LOL ) are very nice & helpful! Happy hammering! :)
