I’m a newly signed up Apprentice smith with the ABS. Started blacksmithing when I was 14 (12 years ago) when a friend introduced me to the craft. Didn’t really start making blades till the last 2-3 years. I’m a big fan of damascus and love making it. Especially mosaic patterning. Built my own 24Ton hydraulic press about two years ago and its a god send <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//tongue.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />
Husband to a lovely lady and father of two children.
Really looking forward to gleaning knowledge from this fourm!!

Welcome to the ABS Coy!!
There's no other place on the net that you can pick the brains of so many Mastersmiths, nor find better/more information on the forged blade!
