Guest Snake McClain Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 i'd make a ring for myself. and hope it gives me super powers (or just pretend). what a great idea. i have always been obssessed with the story like the movie the "meteor man" that a meteor comes and gives powers to someone.

andygates Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I have learned something from this: Iron meteorites aren't like iron-rich ore, they're freaking lumps of iron! No wonder people wanna mine them. Link to comment
Rooks Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Very cool. I've been wanting to learn how to forge stuff for awhile. Gives me a little motivation to look into again. Thanks for the share. Link to comment
Vicarious Ink Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Why is it, that when I think about putting that on my finger, I might just explode into a fiery ball of amazing and zoom around the planet? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] |Ogre Monk| My Challenge to all NF'ers Link to comment
Sloth the Enduring Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Very cool. I've been wanting to learn how to forge stuff for awhile. Gives me a little motivation to look into again. Thanks for the share.You're in luck Rooks. Minneapolis has a great blacksmithing program at The Chicago Area Fire Arts Center. Here's the summer class schedule.. I took the build a forge class when they were at MCTC and it was a lot of fun. If my schedule and finances allow, I'll be taking the blacksmithing basics course this summer.
