It's been a while since I did any metalworking. I finally signed back up for the community college shop time and I'm happily back at the forge. I didn't realize how much I missed it! Anyways, I even did a blacksmithing presentation for the new students so that was pretty cool.

Thanks for help and support so far. I had some of my hooks and hairsticks in a jewelry sale this weekend, and it went well. I was really nervous, but everyone was real nice and I made a few sales and got some orders.

I highly recommend this book for people who are learning blacksmithing. It has great photos, great tips, explanations, and everything makes sense. Even though I use a propane forge, not a coal forge, I will still buy this book.

New to this site. Looks cool so far. Don't know what I am doing. I am waiting to see what happens. If anybody is reading this, they can look at my blacksmithing work at
