Also so funny. Also so true.

From there I found another link over to an article on Anvil Fire :

or POOF! You're a Swordsmith!

Also so true (but not intended to be funny).


If you are another blade maker - you might find both of these links might save you a bit of 'wiennie time'.

If you are just interested in swords and sword making - there are a lot of the core information points laid out clearly.

If you *are* a wiennie who instantly wants all the secrets - READ and save us both some frustration (?)
