I'm a retired Sheet Metal worker (now I'm a Pastor)...so working with metal is something I'm familiar with. I've always loved knives, and collected them...so bladesmithing is my new passion!In February I attended the basic bladesmithing course in Washington, Arkansas. Wow...what a great class! My arm got a workout! I've been putting together my home forge...making many of my own tools and grinders (still trying to find an affordable anvil, then I'm ready to start forging!)I'm really impressed with the "Brotherhood" amongst Bladesmiths! Looking forward to some Hammer-ins and Bladeshows! God Bless y'all!

Howdy! Welcome to the forum. What part of MO are you in? I live in NE AR and am looking forward to the hammer-in at Old Washington next weekend.
