I have indeed visited a blacksmith! He taught me how to mig weld! Lovely fella, he's an artist and specialises in wrought iron gates and sculptures made from wrought iron. Definitely in it for the love and not the money (like all artists).

I will definitely go back when I can because I want to actually learn some smithing.

We either know the same guy or all modern blavksmiths specialize in wrought-iron fences.

This thread just reminded me of the Goon who devoted his entire life to medieval LARP and was going broke paying for elaborate feasts for his fake knights on his gas station clerks salary despute his medievel LARPing giving him genuinely marketable if niche skills like Blacksmithing.

My husband wants to set up a hobby forge out back and he is indeed a fat guy in an apron. No mustache though. Maybe you can only grow one AFTER establishing said forge and smithing some wrought iron :iiam:

You need a license from the blacksmith guild and they only grant that after you fetch 10 Salmander tails from the Temperi wilds.

Yeah, so I'm not joking. I'm going to see the blacksmith today. Sadly he is not an old timey Blacksmith he's a new timey blacksmith. Part of my chipper/shredder broke and it is seriously impossible to buy replacement so it's time to see if some guy, presumably with a mustache, can forge me new part. Am I excited? Yes, yes I am. Why? Because, I don't know it's cool or whatever. Have you ever gone to the blacksmith? What did they make you? Did they have a mustachio?


- imagine I posted a picture of a blacksmith here that I added bling to at Blingee.com Home of the Blingee but it turns out when you look for pictures of blacksmiths it's all fat guys in aprons. Surely that can't be right? -

My friends dad was a blacksmith. He mainly made wrought iron fencing and patio furniture for bougie people. I never patronized his services as I live in an apartment and therefore have no need for either of his main products.
