Ark Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hey yall, My name is Zach Daugherty friends call me Ark. i live in Morgantown Ky and am 21 years old. I don't know what came over me but one day I woke up and just wanted to be a blacksmith. I did some research , bought some books and ended up building a 55 forge. 4 S-hooks and 2 dinner bells later I was hooked. now I can't drive down the road without scanning the ditches for scrap steel. I'll probably be flooding the forum with elementary questions since i'm an apprentice w/o a teacher. gimme a shout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayco Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Zach, welcome to Iforgeiron and the wonderful world of blacksmithing! I also 'scan the ditches for scrap steel'.......I think it's a sign of 'blacksmithing addiction'! If you have any questions, just ask..... There are lots of friendly folks here willing to help. By the way.......where is Morgantown Ky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Browne Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 If you think scanning the side of the road is bad I stopped on my push bike in the highway to pick up a bit of stainless. Nearly got killed :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Welcome aboard Zach, glad to have ya. Nothing wrong with keeping an eye open for stray stock in the ditches I say. You can't make things without stock and there's no reason to . . . BUY it if you don't have to. Ask away, some of us are just plain happy to yak.
