mrnewberry Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hello I am from Northwest Arkansas and I am new to blacksmithing and in my case bladesmithing. My avatar is a picture of my first forged blade. I was lucky enough to have some guidance from Tom Upton in the forging process.

ThomasPowers Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Where In NW AR? I'm originally from that area, born in Fayetteville, Father's side from Fort Smith, Mother's side from Cedarville. I get out that way fairly regularly. I was able to get some good abrasives cheap as well as some hammer handles from the A-Z store down near ALMA on old 71.
