Guess there's no cool handle available for the newbie dewbs... Well then, hello from the complete opposite end of the country, Bradenton, FL. My Name is Zach, I'm very new to the world of blacksmithing and have an affliction/addiction for all things metallic in nature. A hobbyist is the applicable title I should adhere to, but I'd love nothing more than to eventually work my way up the ladder. Artistic endeavors are usually at the top of my list, but I also have a nagging need to make things functional. Thank you mods for your patience, as I think this is actually the 3rd and final username I signed up with, not really understanding that I had to use my real name until it was too late(didn't follow directions)...

I play nice, I share, I enjoy craftsmanship, I embrace quality work, and I loath Harley-Davidson...

Great to be here.

I would say you just must have not met the right HD, Welcome 😉

Whatever you are, be a good one.

I'd be down, but they seem more interested in those mechanics...

I'll wager you're the same joker I just missed when I was in Sarasota a few weeks back...too bad I could have used another excuse to slip away from my folks place while I was there. Anyway the fish are glad I'm gone...:ninja:.....BTW it's spelled dweebs and there aren't as many here as as ifi, but there's a higher % of eccentrics....A good thing.....Cool

That I is, and that's why I is here... I've noticed the traffic here isn't as heavy, but the posts are worth their weight in gold... That translates to more work being done, and more posts centered around the craft. To a dweeb like myself, that's what it's all about...
