November 16, 200817 yr 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!
November 16, 200817 yr 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?
November 16, 200817 yr Author twenty miles North of Bowling Green can't miss it. were's Greenup co? Edited November 16, 200817 yr by Ark
November 16, 200817 yr Yep, that helps.....I was in Bowling Green once. As I remember, Bowling Green is a fair sized town. I,m in greenup co..........N/E Ky
November 16, 200817 yr 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 :)
November 16, 200817 yr 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. Frosty
November 17, 200817 yr Ark, I'm just north and east of you I think, so if I can be of any help let me know/Selden
