You know you're a Blacksmith when.....
« on: December 17, 2013, 12:58:13 PM »
Some of you know that one of my hobbies is blacksmithing.   If you also tinker with metalwork, but are unsure if you qualify as a blacksmith, here's a few hints to help you decide.

You know you're a blacksmith when....
You wash your hands before going to the toilet
Your boogers are black
Setting fire to yourself is no big deal
You buy coke by the tonne and not by the gram
One arm is bigger than the other

Mate of mine is a qualified Blacksmith after doing his apprenticeship on the railways in the 70's......he has some great creations in his shed....and a few have made it into mine too.
