Conrad Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hi everyone, Name's Conrad (I'm rather unimaginative with usernames!) and I'm a multi-national world traveller, currently residing in the east end of Canada. A little background: I was born and raised in South Africa. From there I moved to Singapore, after that England, now Canada. I've visited a fair few other countries in between too. All by the tender age of 22! My grandfather was a bit of an artist, he loved creating anything and everything from painting to making things with steel, glass, wood and any other material at hand. I guess it's from his influence that I grew my love of steelworking, especially knifemaking. I have, so far, a forge, blower and chimney. Now all I need is to finish building my workshop (which I'll do when the winter finally leaves) - so far I've just laid the foundations and put up the profiles. Then I need to buy an anvil and I'll start with some basic stuff. Well, that's me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Welcome aboard Conrad, glad to have ya. This is a pretty international forum so you might find folk to reminisce with about old digs. You'll find plenty of bladesmiths here to talk to as well as general smiths and metal workers of all kinds. Heck, you'll find all kinds of all kinds here and every darned one of us like pictures.

element Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hey conrad Nice to see someone from New brunswick. There is a few from N.S and PEI but we are few and kinda far in between. Now is the time to ask questions and get a bunch of info before you start building in spring;) Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
