Rusty Jones Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I am a retired Millwright. Living in Florida now, I retired from an auto parts plant in Wisconsin. Welding and fabrication has been part of my trade and I get great satisfaction from working with metal. I don't know that it has to be a business but I like welding and fabrication and I would like to pursue the artistic aspect. That of course, would include blacksmithing. This forum provides a lot of interesting information and pictures. I have to start from scratch but I will be looking in here often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Rusty Go to Lessons in metalworking > Blacksmithing and start there. Then to IForgeIron.com > Forum > archive (bottom right of the page. Click on a section and click on a sub-section, and note the page numbers at the top. That list of topics is just page one, so look at the other pages also. Pack a lunch and a cold drink before you go (grin). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
