Matei Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Hi all, saying hi from California, I have very little experience forging, and metal working /blacksmithing, but i am trying to learn. I am in my mid 40s (43) and am looking at building out my shop, and getting things going for smithing and learning on the go. Thanks in advance for the help, and I look forward to getting to know you all over the years.

Welshj Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Welcome to the madness matei! You came to a good place, lot of skill and knowledge in this group. Check out the "what did you do in the shop today" thread for some great inspiration. You'll see anything from basic fixed something... to some seriously beautiful stuff.

JHCC Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Welcome, Matei! (Or should I say "Bine ai venit!" ?) Feel free to tell us a bit more about how you came to be interested in smithing, what you've done so far, what your shop and equipment look like, etc. We love photos, and we are generous with our advice.

ThomasPowers Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Are you interested in doing this on the cheap, my forte; or are you thinking about laying out for a brand new refflinghaus 600# anvil and a Bader with all the bells and whistles in you 5000 sq foot climate controlled shop?
