ostavela Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Hey everyone I am new to blacksmithing, and new to this community. I will probably not post much at first as I will be spending much time reading through older posts. But I look forward to getting to know everyone, and learn from your expertise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-1ToolSteel Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Welcome ostavela! Sounds like you're on the right track. Reading BEFORE you post will save YOUSELF time! ...It also keeps those pesky curmudgeons away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Welcome aboard Ostavela glad to have you. Reading to get a handle on a subject before diving into the conversations is a good plan. Don't believe that tool steel guy, the Curmudgeons are charming helpful souls, just great big sweethearts one and all. Of course ticking anybody off isn't recommended procedure. Ask C-1, he has the experience. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostavela Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 lol. Yay, Curmudgeons! I will definitely try to avoid ticking folks off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostavela Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Been at the forge some yesterday, and this morning. Got a bit of rebar squared off. Not the most exciting thing ever, unless it's the first time you've done it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalcain2 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 nice and clean. better to learn little bits at a time than to take a project that is to much for you and get frustrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostavela Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Yeah... as much as part of me wants to go fast, I am intending to go quite slow... I have a propensity to learn things a lot faster than average, but I want to stay slow so I can get muscle memory and fundamentals to become second nature.

ostavela Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Hahahaha! I've already tried to go farther than I am able... my wife said she needed a hook for her workshop. I decided to try to make one. Pretty sure she would go ahead and use it, despite being butt ugly, but I made it slightly too wide... lol. Don't worry, I haven't discouraged myself! Now I have incentive to keep learning, so I can do it proper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
