SmithingWitch Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Hi all, Ive lurked and read threads here for a while when dealing with my equipment and decided to finally make an account and participate. Im 24 years old and have been smithing off and on since age 13, and was lucky enough to have been given a very serviceable anvil shortly out of the gate. Since then Ive been collecting old tools (antique sewing machines are a specialty but thats lead to me picking up more and more smithing tools) and currently Im looking into getting a small building to officially set up a shop in. Im still pretty new and sort of stick out as a girl in this sort of trade but Ive got a passion for learning and keeping not only the craft but the tools used in it years ago alive, and I hope to be able to learn and contribute something decent fairly soon. -Emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Welcome to IFI! If you haven't yet, please READ THIS FIRST!!! Some of the best smiths -- both within this forum and out in the wide world -- are women, so you are far from alone. Glad to have you here; you definitely seem to have the right attitude.
