Any Blacksmiths out there? Looking to share info and ideas? Swap tools etc. I'm just starting out and would like to learn more.

While this is a great forum, you might want to check out anvilfire.com as well. They have a great site that is packed with info for the beginner.

Gene,

Have you planted a Chestnut Tree next to the place you are putting your forge.

"Under the spreding chestnut tree the village smithy stands......"

well it takes two to get chestnuts. :)

I am a hobby blacksmith. Have a fairly simply smithy set up out in the workshop.
