October 1, 201510 yr Hello guys I am from MH, India. I own a hardware store worked for 12 years in metal field. I had worked in many fields like fabrication, machining, press work, tool room, etc. But i never worked in blacksmithing . This motivated me for building a forge (which i am working on) and i found this forum. I have a small workshop where i can work some of my Machines pics can be seen in my gallery.
