I got interested about two years ago when my wife's father was on hospice for cancer. My wife took a leave from work and we moved in with him and his wife to take care of them. He was a retired welder and made yard art from recycled steel. I spent the summer making yard art with him to pass the time. After he passed away I made a few things and then I tried my hand a blacksmithing.
I built a gas forge from an old propane tank and with the help of youtube I was off and running. I soon found a master blacksmith and took a two day begining class. About a year and a half ago I opened and etsy account .
I have had some success selling my work on etsy. I have done a few custom orders and this is something I enjoy doing. I like the interaction with the client to get them exactly what they want. If needed I send photos with the progress so I can make changes if needed. If you want some metal work just for you I will be happy to make it happen.
