Kevthefire Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Hi, I'm new to this world of hot metal bashing, I'm from Bedfordshire in Old England. I made a coal forge and bought an old anvil and with plenty of willingness, lack of knowledge and a sprinkle of advice I made some knives from bits I had laying around. Looking forward to advancing my skill levels from the vast knowledge base on here. Cheers Kevthefire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Welcome aboard Kev, glad to have you. If you'll put your general location in the header folk within visiting distance will know where you are. We aren't going to remember once we open another post. I'd sure take The Iron Dwarf up on his offer, you'll learn more in an hour with an experienced smith than you will trying to teach yourself. Frosty The Lucky.
