JoshuaMS Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Hello everyone! I have been a member here for some time now but have not been very active, so I thought a proper introduction was in order. Originally from North Carolina I have been blacksmithing ever since 2010 when I took a beginners course at John C. Campbell Folk School. A couple years later I attended Haywood Community College as a Professional Crafts Jewelry student, where I also received a certificate in blacksmithing. I started blacksmithing because I wanted to learn to make swords, and while that passion still remains I have grown to love the intricacy of hand tools. I have recently been working as a missionary using my skills for social development, including working with an agriculture based program in Texas to build a small off grid workshop. I also have travelled some in Sweden, where I had the privilege of meeting Peter Johnsson whose work has been a great inspiration. Here are a few examples of my work: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Welcome aboard Joshua, glad to have you. Those are beautiful pieces, I really like how you incorporated the blacksmith's puzzle in the necklace. I'm looking forward to more pics. Frosty The Lucky.

Al Stephens Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Very Nice Joshua!! In addition to your metalworking skills it looks like you can teach us all something about photography. Way better than my usual "Black and What's?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
