Default Hi Y'all

I've been a hobby blacksmith for several years, and a presssure vessel weldor for 30 years. I work in a Whse shipping and receiving 40 hours a week. Which feels like retirement after the hours spent behind a weld hood.

lloks like a friendly place you have here..

Welcome to the site. I did a little blacksmithing and a lot of wrought iron work in my late teens But now I bash sheet metal - for my sins.

Thanks guys, I just like to hang around people that work with their hands. I have a new neighbor that does pottery, we get along well.

I don't usually have much in common with folks that don't at least cook from scratch.


I especially like cooks!
