Anthony.Matson Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Hey guys! I've been lurking for a while, taking advantage of this very valuable resource for a few months. I must say thank you to everyone here for the plethora of information. My name is Anthony, I go by Tony. During the work week I am a pipefitter, on the weekends I try to be a blacksmith. I've been forging for four or five months now, only making small things for around the house, but I am addicted. My current set up is a small brake rotor forge and RR anvil. Currently building a forge table and a partially enclosed space to forge (you've got to love all the rain here). I will try to get pictures up soon. Nice to meet all of you, and again thank you for all the information I've tried to absorb thusfar, and all I will in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swedefiddle Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Happy New Year Anthony, You are in the middle of a lot of Blacksmiths, North West Blacksmith Association. Your backyard is full of VERY knowledgeable Blacksmiths. They have a monthly get together at Longview Fairground and will be having the Spring Conference in May. Check out their web-site www.blacksmith.org Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony.Matson Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Thanks, I'll be sure to check it often, Glenn. Happy new year to you as well, swedefiddle! Thank you very much for that information, I have signed up for their forum and will try to get in on those monthly get togethers! Longview is only a couple of hours from me.
