Hey all!
I'm Andrew as you can see, I wanted a new hobby and this one seemed as it would go hand in hand with smoking meat and drinking/ brewing beer. I just made my forge and am waiting for it to cure completley so I can dive deeper down the rabbit hole. I have Ideas of making longswords but mostly the rod iron decorative stuff to appease my wife and justify the hours I will be spending in my garage on top of the countless all night brisket and pork butt smokes I currently do on a regular basis. I've been lurking around the forum for a few weeks now and would like to get as much knowledge as I possibly can out of this site. As well as providing any knowledge I can to help out where I can. I am a computer nerd and am willing to help out with anything needed in that area ( I noticed there is talk of an app and could help with the making and maintaing of it) as well as beer brewing and meat smoking. I'm a telecommunications engineer and live in beautifully cold north idaho.
Thanks for the wealth of knowledge and a place to talk about the craft.

I can't wait go to a conference, my work takes me all over WA state and some Oregon and Montanna so I'm hoping to be doing field work around the conference in Longview and take a long weekend to partake.
