Steve McCarthy Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 By just getting started I mean that I'm still in the planning stage. I've started gathering parts for my first forge and hope to have it completed soon. Having never hammered iron, I have a lot to learn. I hope to one day turn out some respectable fish gigs. I have easy access to a salvage yard so material shouldn't be a problem. I don't know where to find coal close, so I plan to use hardwood charcoal. I have an unlimited supply of dry oak. In these pages I plan to a lot of reading and learning, and maybe I won't ask too many stupid questions. Anyhow,I just wanted to say "Hey" to all.

TASMITH Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Welcome to IFI. There is no such thing as a stupid question, especially to someone who doesn't know the answer! Ask away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Welcome aboard. Fish gigs eh? Been a LONG time since I made a fish gig but I still have the scar on my right palm from sticking myself with the barb. I was walking along the sidewalk treating my newly made fish spear like a walking stick, sharp end up, and I missed the edge of the curb with the butt end. It slid through my hand and barbed me good. Oh the memories. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
