ShawnH Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Hello I am Shawn and I am new to blacksmithing. I retired from the Army 2 years ago and wanted to start something to keep myself busy and blacksmithing was the one thing that always came to mind. So I took a few classes with a local blacksmith and was hooked. Over time I slowly bought and built what I needed to start. I fired up my homemade coal forge this week and started moving metal. I can't wait to learn as much as I can on here. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnut Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Welcome aboard. I used to live in Clarksville. It was one of my favorite places that I've ever lived. There's another member somewhere in town. Good luck and remember it's supposed to be fun. Pnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
