Hello, i'm Brian from oregon, just started blacksmithing and taking some classes. I'm currently trying to get into bladesmithing and really hone that in but that all starts here =D. Luckily my family has a farm and i was able to grab an old rivet forge, anvil, vice, grinder etc. on the free to really get me started. Cant wait to start making something more than hooks ;)..

Welcome aboard Brian, glad to have you. I advise folk to gain proficiency blacksmithing before they take on the bladesmithing learning curve. Doing stock removal blades while learning blacksmithing is a good route. Both skill sets are necessary but they don't interfere in the learning.

And pics, we LOVE pics, anything you'd show a young child you didn't want to have to explain.
