RAR2 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 My name is Ron and I live in McMinnville Oregon. I am new to the forum and new to the art of metal forming. I have done a few small projects like a special gate for a friend and done a bit of copper pipe work for arbors, tellis's, and artform around a porch. I bought a small - cheap anvil (you get what you pay for) with the intent of doing some basic metal "pounding". I'm sure I will want to upgrade this because it's cast iron. I have a wire feed welder (no gas) so it splatters like crazy when I weld. A grinder is my best frined. :-) I plan to be quite on this forum and soak in the details you provide. At some point I will get brave and post some pictures of what I have made and look for some feedback for improvement. Thanks for the forum and I hope to spend some time here frequently.

megs Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hi guys, my names Megs and I do enjoy my forging. Although I haven't been able to get into it for a while because I've been busy building a shed. In the past I've banged out a few knives and some arty stuff, so i can't wait to cranking up the forge once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
