Just looking for a little "feedback" from some of you thinkers out there.
I got most of the stuff together to make a small forge, . . . gonna do some really basic blacksmithing this spring and summer, . . .
I'm thinking in terms of SHTF, . . . a blacksmith's services could be well in demand.
BUT, . . . beyond farrier work, . . . knives, axes, froes, hawks and the such, . . . I'm running up against a wall trying to come up with "ideas" to learn how to make, . . . JIC.
I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have, . . .
And, . . . just to share a little thought, . . . I bought a forge fan out of New England, . . . it's older that me I am sure, . . . cranked the handle with it in a vise, . . . hadn't heard that sound for something near 60 years, . . . last time was in the blacksmith shop of my grandfather Webb, . . . and it was a fun moment.
Anyway, may God bless,
Dwight
