RyanD Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Hello all Wanted to take a second to introduce myself, my name is Ryan and I currently live in the upstate of SC. Also, I wanted to offer my thanks to all who came before me for sharing their knowledge on this site. The abundant lessons shared that I've perused over the last few weeks of lurking, from beginner to master level, have given me the confidence to take up the hobby. Currently I have zero experience, and only began to have an interest a month or so back. While looking for ways to build a forge google led me to the JABOD thread, and let's just say the rest is history. Looking to learn and grow from others experience here, and in time hoping to give something back. I started to make my JABOD forge yesterday from a leftover pallet and some wood I had laying around the shop. Hoping to finish it up today, and begin my journey soon. Thanks again, and I look forward to getting to know you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanD Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 That looks good to me! Also, thanks for the advice. I've been reading up an anvil alternatives, and there's a forklift fork for sale down the road for $25 on craigslist. That's likely to be my anvil, just need to my vehicle to get out of the shop so I can pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
