Hamorin Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Hello! I am so happy to have found this forum. As a beginner with a life long interest I look forward to learning from the years of experience contained here . I spent many hours as a child, sitting in the 'garage' letting my mind wander...our garage was the original blacksmith shop in Thief River Falls, MN. The two brick forges and ceiling bellows were still there along with horse shoes, hardware, tool racks etc.. I loved sitting there and imagining the sound of the hammers on anvils, the smell of the forges... So, now I am learning the craft and loving the journey! My working anvil is a 189lb Arm&Hammer. I prefer coal to propane but will use whatever is handy! I will be putting in many late nights reading all of the threads and posts on I Forge Iron. Happy to be a part of it!

ThomasPowers Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 You are extremely lucky to have that set up! You can always set the propane forge(s) on the less usable coal forge.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Welcome, always good to see female smith's get started. My wife has a couple years of experience and already tackles projects that make me proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
