Hi folks.

My name is Ben. I'm from New Zealand and I am 27 years old.

I got into black smithing a few years ago through my involvement in the reenactment community. Thus far I have made fairly limited progress as I have had to make do with using a friends workshop once every few months. I have just purchased a small coal forge and a leg vise and am in the process of sorting out some space at my father in laws place to set up a permanent workshop.

So yeah thats me.

Cheers

Welcome, good to have ya here at IFI. As you spend some time here go up to user CP and put in your location and such so everyone can remember where your from.

By the sounds of it your well on your way to getting a shop together...

Looking forward to seeing you around IFI!
