RobpoundsMetal Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hello all. I just moved here from Indiana, where I had just started meeting some people to start learning about Smithing. I want to continue. I hope to set up a shop later this year. It will be basic at first. I would like to begin by forging my tools. Any others in the area please respond, I have lots of questions and would like to find people that have also caught this bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave51B Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Now why would anyone want to move away from Indiana? I do hope you hook up with some good people out there. Life is Good Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I know a great smith living in Rowe New Mexico which isn't too far from Las Vegas New Mexico, (My brother used to be in the hospital up there!)---or are you in Las Vegas Texas? And Dave; I for one was very happy to move away from Indiana when I was 15... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Not a problem; I moved from the Washington DC area to Indianapolis Indiana in the late 60's at about 12 years old. It wasn't a good fit. I would probably have done fine out in the boonies. I did like collecting Geodes in Brown County and fossils; but the intellectual climate did not agree with me at that time. (Washington Post to Indianapolis Star for instance!) I did move my wife and kid(s) to Columbus Ohio much later and enjoyed living there for 15 years.

Dave51B Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I was lucky growing up in the boonies.....never had a problem with intellect....you must not have been on the north side of Indy. You would have fit right in. And yes I too have a bunch of geodes from working in Brown County. Take care my friend Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
