Title: Hello from NC
Post by: Mac53 on October 23, 2011, 09:58:39 AM: Hello all,
My name is Marcus and I'm from North Carolina.
I came across the forum while trying to figure out what a tool I bought was. I do some blacksmithing and restore different things....I collect a lot of weirdness, and do a lot of barn digging....needless to say, I tend to come across odd tools! I think this site will be a real asset to me- not to mention I might even be able to help now and then!

I agree with Longstep, blacksmith member numbers are increasing, but then there is a generic conection with tools and the blacksmith, without workers of metal down through the ages we wouldn't have any tools "weird" or otherwise!!
