September 24, 20169 yr Hi there! Finally decided to join up after lurking for over a year, lol. I'd been interested in blacksmithing for a few years, but wasn't sure how to get started until I started reading IFI, Weygers, and the like. Lit my first forge in spring of last year and haven't looked back. I mostly make tools and knick knacks, but I want to start doing some architectural work soon. Right now we are in the process of moving, so I wont be getting any forge time, so reading this board will have to suffice in the meantime. That, and going to the local clubs monthly meetings ( I need to remember to buy some more coal...). Anyhow, just thought I'd say howdy oh, and since IFI loves pics, here is a pic of a plant hanger I made awhile back. The forge welds aren't pretty, but it works!
September 27, 20169 yr Author Thanks, Pac! Next time I'm going to make the scarfs larger so I can forge down the welds more.
September 28, 20169 yr Glad you delurked Andrew it's good to hear from you. Those aren't easy welds to make pretty and those look pretty good. Well done all round. Frosty The Lucky.
