Why start a blog?

Since I first stepped into John Little's blacksmith shop http://johnlittleironwork.tripod.com/ in East Dover, Nova Scotia in the fall of 2001, and connected hammer to hot steel, I have been fascinated by the world of metalwork and specifically forged metalwork.  My goal for this blog is to share where I've been in the last 11 years years through photos and anecdotes and to share what I'm working on now and in the future.  It has been an adventure to say the least - and it's still going!
