April 19Apr 19 I’m new at making knives and I found a company in New York called Jacksons Blacksmithing tools , is this a legit company? I’m trying to buy an Anvil and a Forge , and I don’t want to be scammed
April 20Apr 20 Welcome from the Ozark mountains You might check with Steve Sells he had a forge and blower for sale in the Tailgating section. Tailgating / buy / sell I can’t control the wind. All I can do is adjust my sails. ~Semper Paratus~ USCG 1964-1970
April 20Apr 20 I don’t believe the business you are mentioning is real. I could be wrong, but if you’re asking it may mean your caveat emptor senses are tingling.
April 20Apr 20 There's a couple of pages on social media suggesting that it is a scam and that the page posts pictures of other people's work and steals your personal information for profit. I haven't experienced them directly. You may want to consider joining a smithing group, which can add considerably to your resources and knowledge base. Plus it's fun to hang out and do demos and hammer-ins and the like on the weekend. Sometimes they will sell or help you find tools. If you add your general location to your user profile, we also might be able to tell you if there's a group nearby.
