August 13, 200817 yr Hi everybody! I thought at least a little Introduction of my person would be the a matter of politeness after littering the forum with my posts... I am 23 years old and live in Germany. I always wanted to forge since the first time I watched Conan the barbarian with its intro scenewhen I was young. Well, of course I know today that it really wasn't a correct represantation of correctly forging a blade, but the movie was cool anyway (even if I like the books more....but that is a diferent topic ^^). I have no real job, well not yet anyway. I am studying Medicine in my third year, there are still 4 years to go (in the german system). I have acquired or improvised the tools in the past half year (even got a good anvil), now I have holidays and will divide the spare time between hobbies and "working at the hospital". To cut a long speech short: Hello!
August 13, 200817 yr Welcome to Iforge. You will find a wealth of info here to answer all your questions you may happen upon. I would say all this in German, except my 4 years of schooling in the language has been 26+ years ago and have had no one to use it with. So it is pretty much lost.
August 13, 200817 yr Author I am lurking for half a year, I really like the forum for good advice and interesting posts :-) English is fine with me :cool: Otherwise I would be in the wrong place here I guess... Your post would translate as: >Welcome to Iforge. You will find a wealth of info here to answer all your >questions you may happen upon.

August 13, 200817 yr I don't think it is a horrible language. My family came from Germany, or as it was then Prussia, in 1732. Although a long time ago, it is part of my heritage that I am proud of.
August 14, 200817 yr Author No no, I formulated my sentence wrong and made myself misunderstood. I meant it is horrible to learn if it is not one's mother language. I considered its grammar for example... As far as I know as much as one third of the US citizens have some german roots. At least that was said in a documentary I saw a week ago about the migration of germans to the US during the last 5 centuries. I was really surprised when I heard that.
August 14, 200817 yr Visited Germany in 1981. We made a complete circuit through the country including what was then East Germany. I was at least then capable of holding my own with the language. It is beautiful country there.
