fastfiveoh Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Hey All, Here to learn the process of moving metal and building things with my hands. Moved to Boise, ID and now am at a point in my life where I have the time and money to invest into something I have been fascinated by for 10 years, just always lived in a concrete jungle with no room to build. Look forward to chatting with you. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anachronist58 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Welcome, Mike, from the extreme southwestest corner of the U.S. of A. Spent a week in Deary some years ago, awesome country! I am a re-inventor of the wheel, with thousands of pounds of fancy equipment. Most of which is housed under tents and lean-tos. My point being, Blacksmithing can be started with a campfire, a rock, and any old hammer shaped thing. Choose your path according to your taste, and Iforgeiron can help from the lowest to the highest end... Cheers, Robert Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George N. M. Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Welcome aboard from 7500' in SE Wyoming. Glad to have you. I hope you find the craft as rewarding as I have for the last 44 years. It has been fun in good times and has helped be through tough times. Also, it is one of the few hobbies that can pay for itself and even add to your income if you decide to go that way.

ThomasPowers Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I've spent 15 years smithing in the inner city of Columbus Ohio and 18 years smithing on 1 acre in rural NM and yup things are easier out in the country! Welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
