Hello!

[jebeal]

Hello everyone. My name is Jacob. I’ve been trying to break into blacksmithing for a while. I talked a brother-in-law into getting into it. He recently passed and left me his shop. At this point, the only thing I have left to start heating and beating is a space. Hopefully I’ll have that fixed part covered this year.

Welcome, Jacob. I’m really sorry for your loss. It sounds like his shop is a meaningful place to carry things forward, and it’s great you’re planning to bring it back to life this year.

Good to have you here, Jacob. Many of us started with just a space and an idea, so you’re right where a lot of good journeys begin.

Welcome to the forum, Jacob. Losing someone close is never easy, but turning that space into something creative feels like a fitting way to honor him.

Glad you found your way here, Jacob. Taking over a shop like that comes with a lot of history, but it also sounds like a solid foundation to finally get started blacksmithing.
