Hello! My name's Isaac Gardner. I live in BC Utah with my wife, one toddler and another on the way.
I'm a full-time goldsmith and jeweler and have been forging blades for about 10 years now. I'm currently working on building a new shop space at our new home and am looking forward to spending more and more time in the forge. I've never done much if any stock-removal and always do as much as possible with a hammer and anvil. I'm obsessed with building my own tools and have made my own power-hammer, 25 ton hydraulic press, 2x72 grinder with tooling attachments, etc... Looking forward to learning a ton from the forum and testing for rank advancements; reminds me of when I earned my Eagle Scout. Haha! Anyway, thanks for having me!
Looks like I'm gonna need to figure out how to size my pics after all... Didn't realise that they're so big. Next time, baby.
Isaac
