March 19, 20188 yr Looks like in the most recent newbie around here. I renewed "the" bug last year after growing up on a ranch in Northern Idaho watching my grandad and the hands forge what was needed. My first memory was a VERY poignant lesson when my great uncle found me beating on the anvil with a hammer. After I picked myself up we fired the forge up and I hit my first piece of hot steel. I've got a single burner Mathewson and a 80lb NC. Still trying to figure out how to safely forge in my garage as my driveway has a pretty good slope so I can't just pull everything in and out.
