Hello All
Ive been doing hobby blacksmithing since the early 1980s. Pretty old now, so only do it make tools and such. Started on coal, but graduated (or digressed) to a propane Sandia forge made in a Rocky Mountains Blacksmiths forge building workshop in the 80s. Keep a pile of steel, mostly potato digger bar or car springs, to make high carbon tools. Do some black powder shootinng, and smithing skills help to keep them running. I saw a link to this group and thought I'd see what you folks were up to.
Regards, Perry
