[TheForge] Subject: Re: I am new to the list

[J. Petrila]

Sorry no website.. I haven't wanted to spend the time on it yet.  ( I do
have problems with lists though, the figuring out subjects and such)

 I was a professional smith specializing in colonial hardware, tools,
knives and such, some wrought iron work, carriage repairs, Japanese tools
and at 20 did a 3 year apprenticeship as a Farrier.. Basically a good ol
fashioned blacksmith.. :)

 I got burnt out dealing with blacksmithing customers and the money was
better doing the farrier work so closed shop in 2007..   I dabbled here and
there with the hammer and anvil if I needed something but pretty much
walked away..  It's only been the last year or so I have picked back up the
hammer in earnest and have been getting back into hammer shape..

Of course since my retirement from blacksmithing the scene has exploded..
Great to see..

As of late I have been producing "How to" videos for youtube on subjects I
find interesting and videos I'd want to watch but don't really see any good
instructional ones..

Otherwise I go on  IFI but it's funny now because of the time difference..
It's like I'm Rip Van Winkle..

So, Google+  or FB or Youtube  are the places I've placed my work..
JLPservicesinc    for those that want to look, should get you to my pages..
