brickman Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 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 ;)..

Frosty Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 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. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try and post some pics soon! i've made a few hooks already and a couple bottle openers, currently making an Axe in my blacksmithing class as well with instruction. Here are the hooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
