Can still remember the moment I first felt like a real smith. It was when I successfully forged my first clean taper without any mistakes. It felt like a rite of passage. When did you have that moment where you thought, Wow, I might actually be getting good at this?
 
The first time I crafted a decent pair of tongs was a game changer for me. After struggling with crooked ones in the past finally having a good set made me feel like I was on the right track.
