Blacksmithing

In my spare time, I also dabble in creating things from steel.

During my time re-enacting, I found both the need and the spark for blacksmithing. Eventually, over time, this passion grew to the point that I took a couple of professional classes. I am aiming to become self-sufficient, and intend on making the majority of the tools I use.

Blacksmithing is a hobby for me, and part of the enjoyment I find in this comes from the satisfaction of creating things and seeing them transform from raw materials into the desired item.

Currently, my forge is gas-powered and I own a couple of 20kg Anvils. I have been (very) slowly working on establishing a mobile, historically accurate forge complete with tools and accessories, and still have a large amount of work ahead of me to get there.
