SmeltingFish Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Just taking a second to introduce myself. These always feel awkward so I'll just pretend I walked into a barn and twelve 65 year old blacksmiths with beards turn and say, "What?" "Well hi there. I just heard the hammering, could smell the coal in the air and wanted to see what was going on." "Uh huh," one of them says brushing off the huge anvil they are standing around. "Are you guys making anything today?" I ask feeling way out of my element but compelled to stay. "Bit of this and that," said one of the smiths smiling. "You're welcome to hang out and watch if you like," he says pointing to stump sitting off to the side. "Great. Thank you," I say. I'm way out of my league here but it's a great chance to learn. The guy that smiled walked over, "What's your name?" "I'm Ray. I just started making blades. I have a railroad track anvil and wood forge for now but I'm having fun," I say stopping myself before I blather on. "If you're having fun, then you're off to a great start," he says.
