Greetings everyone! I am a new member and hobbyist. I have had a fascination with blacksmithing and bladesmithing since the early 1990s. Way back in my high school days. I never really had the time or money to get into it until a few months ago. I started just tinkering with some different steels and made some knives, pokers, tools, etc. I would like to focus on bladesmithing more than blacksmithing though. I look forward to learning everything I can from everyone here. I am hoping to take a class in the next year at one of the ABS schools nearby.
