Simian Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Hi All! I've only been forging a year or so, but have learnt loads from here, so thought I'd join up, mainly to say thanks. I did a taster course around 6 years ago, and was itching to get my own forge running. I was lucky to inherit a lovely peter Wright Anvil from a family member which was the catalyst for me to get started. I won't bore you, but will leave a few pics of some bits I've made so far. Mod edit: The links do not work. Cheers! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Welcome from the Ozark mountains U.S.A. Just a note about your links, they require an account to open them, so many of us won't see them. If you can save the pictures in a jpeg format and reduce the size, they can be downloaded easily.

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Yep, and looking good too. I like the bird feeder and may make one like it. I haven't used the wood lathe in ages. The knives are great also. All your stuff is good IMHO a thumbs up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Welcome aboard Simian, glad to have you. That's a good beginner mistake, it didn't even get you a talking to from the mods. Well done. Nice looking work, I like the flower. About the vase though, kind of heavy handed even for the "industrial" look, don't you think? Frosty The Lucky.

Frosty Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I see. How long before you notice the new guy is calling us names already? I mean seriously, "Gentlemen!" If he keeps this up he's going to fit in here seamlessly. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
