Hello from NC
« 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!

Welcome from Australia.
  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!!

Thank you all! Good to hear there are a few other 'smiths around here- I know very few local that are still alive.

Fins- What parts are you from?

I'm not much of a tool collector- though I enjoy them. Anyone here collect anvils?
