July 25, 20187 yr Hello. Recently joined or at least recently remembered my password. I first got interested in blacksmithing when I was very young and watched Conan the Barbarian and continued my interest watching Roy Underhill’s The Woodwright Shop. My grandfather used to explain how they fixed stuff on the farm and told me how to build a simple forge. That worked ok and then my senior year in high school my dad bought a Buffalo Forge railroad forge at a farm auction for next to nothing and I haven’t looked back. I mostly make knives but have really started taking a interest in making camping supplies like hooks and tripods and spoons. As far as knife making I’m mostly drawn to neo-tribal knife making because I like the simplicity and I also hate the grinding. i currently live in the Muncie Indiana area but I was in the Army and have lived in lots of places.
July 25, 20187 yr Will we see you at Quad-State this year? I'm driving in from New Mexico for it...(TGLW&TCDR)
