Im actually signing up for a blacksmith class soon. you really cant beat the deal. I get the Military discount which makes it even better. I figured this would be the best way to figure out what all i need and want to do before i just start dumping money into it.

 

The Anvil made from railroad track is brilliant!

Im a machinist by trade, Ive built many CNC machines in my garage for people and i have a small machine shop here at home. I haven't used it much lately but i like having it around incase i need to make something.

After i smashed my right hand in a turret mill and cut off my pointer finger i decided it was time for a career change. they reattached my finger but it doesn't really work. one day ill post pics lol

well that scares the heck out of me!

we have this one older guy that is taking the class with me, he wears coveralls and long sleeve shirts to class, I think the instructor finally said something to him the other night, I make sure I am at the farthest Lathe away from him, if I start hearing screaming, I'm running the opposite direction

Long sleeves are not a good idea! same with rings, neclaces, hats.
