Saying hello

[theoldsarge]

Hi theoldsarge, plenty of blacksmithing stuff here to keep you and your son occupied. Welcome!

Thanks. I'm thinking probably tongs, of various types and sizes. I'll be going thru the whole site as I get time.

For my self, I usually do woodworking, mostly canes just now, sometimes wooden figure banks. I make masters/patterns for routing out my different designs and figures. Make glue up jigs as needed. Also planer sleds, saw sleds, all my own shop stands, tool stands, etc. It's 99% Zen woodworking, I know what I want to make, but don't really know how. So, I start cutting plywood, fitting it together, gluing it, and then when I'm finished, I have just what I need/want. And usually don't really know how I did it. I think I have figured out how my saw stand was made, looks like an art deco piece, but still haven't figured out for sure how I made my router table top and the router plates. However, I've been happy with it for over 10 years, so not complaining.
