Hi. My name is Bob Gaimari. I've been working on learning blacksmithing for several years, but I haven't really progressed very much. I've taken classes, and I do pretty well during them, but generally I don't keep up and practice what I've learned enough to make it stick.

My plan for this blog is to write something at least once a week and post some pictures and discussions about what I've worked on that week and what I plan to work on.  In addition, I'll post some pictures of previous stuff I've done (since I think some of it is pretty good), and talk about things I've learned in classes.  I hope that by sticking to a schedule of reporting my work, it will help me stick to a schedule of working in the forge.
