Thought I better say hello...

[Guest]

Hey everyone (be gentle with me, I'm a forum virgin) this is Iain from Mother Mountain Forge on the far south coast near Tilba. I am a Blacksmith and Bladesmith (completely self taught) and it is my income aswell...well trying very hard to make a living out of it. I have been making knives and the like for 13 years an only in the last year have I been truly happy with what I have been producing.
I'm looking forward to the learning possibilities of this forum and meeting people who speak the same language as me.
