Protocol Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hey guys. My name is Joe, 27 years old, and not quite right in the head. I've always loved watching people make things. I equally love making things. I love all forms of creation I've come across so far. I've dabbled in just about everything, save two of the seemingly elusive arts. Glass, which I'm only semi-fond of, and iron forging. Hell,.. I don't really even know what to call what I'm looking for. Blacksmithing? I don't know. I want to learn how to work with metal. How it works, why it works, the science and the art behind it. That's a tiny bit of who I am, and why I'm here. I'll save the rest for the appropriate threads.

unitekweld Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Hey Joe, good to meet you. I'm also new here. I'm interested in learning about mig welding and also about blacksmithing too, as it's always fascinated me. My only experience is going into my Dad's workshop and watching him work. So I thought I'd start doing my own reading, and this seems like a great place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
