Happy to join the hammer swingers

Hello! I became interested in smithing while fixing old mining tools back in Nevada, and that sparked a real love for shaping steel. I’m looking to refine my skills, learn from the experts here, and pitch in whenever I can.

So glad you’re here! I kicked things off by restoring old farm tools, so I totally understand the charm. There’s just something about reviving steel that feels rewarding. You’re going to fit right in.

Hey, welcome! Fixing up old mining tools sounds like a great way to start with smithing. I got really into it after making my first pair of tongs. Can’t wait to see your projects and swap tips!
