Jenkins said: Now that I'm home everyday I'm thinging about starting up a forge to start making blades what should I start with Start with reading the forum. There are pinned posts at the top of each section that give important information that just about everyone should read. In your case, look at the sections on different kinds of forges, getting started in bladesmithing, etc. A word of warning: the folks here on IFI are tremendously helpful IF they see you holding up your end of the conversation. That means: do your research, think carefully about what you need to know, don't ask basic questions that have been answered a dozen times (or more) already, and be as specific as possible about what you're asking.

Steve Sells Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 BEST SUGGESTION THERE IS around here is to learn how to read the forum before posting questions That skill will take you far. and since this post here has absolutely nothing do do with reference material I will relocate it away from that section to somewhere else more appropriate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Read the blade sections here including the book list. You need at least basic knowledge to ask a question that can be answered. It'd be like me dropping into a hospital forum and asking, "I'm retired now and want to pick up a surgical theater and start operating on people. What should I do first?" Frosty The Lucky.

Got good insurance, extra parts? I'll check air fares. Is obsidian or flint available or should I bring my own? Hmmmm, the old movie theater in Wasilla is for sale, a paint job, lights and I can sell tickets. This is starting to sound like fun and I was just posing an extreme example to make a point. Ain't life just one surprise after another? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
