Blacksmithing

I am getting muscles! I can make horse shoes! I will have a marketable trade when The Change happens.

Clan Mackenzie for life fools!

Useful skills are useful! That's pretty badass.

Forge a kris with wootz/"Damascus" steel. Infuse it with the venom of a geography cone. Smite your enemies and evil spirits.

Smithing is cool -- pleased it's working out for you. And extra kudos for not falling over the bellows or something. ;)

Don't let this happen to you:

It won't happen that way, Desp. Mandy's beard is much longer.

That's neat! Do you start with horseshoes, or were there more basic things you made before that? What kinds of things do you suspect you will get to make / learn to work with as you get better and more experienced? As neat as it may be to, like, forge a sword or whatever, I'm sure there are more practical, modern-day things that need smithing.

Blacksmithing is pretty nifty.
Make yourself some wrought-iron gates for your yard.

Ok, so I know who to call when I decide I want custom knives crafted some day.

Seriously, I'm definitely going to do that eventually.
