Hi everyone,

I am new around these parts and I finally have been able to put together a forge to start learning and making blades.

I have forged a few out and wanted to join where the focus is making the best so that I can learn, and hopefully

avoid some of the mistakes others have made before me <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//smile.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> while making plenty of my own.

Trying to forge plunge lines evenly and getting both sides of the tang isolated evenly are current focus.
