ITT: people missed to poke fun at "blacksmithing"

Who on earth is blacksmithing as a hobby? Is that even possible except if your occupation is actually being blacksmith? Like, would you set up blacksmithing equipment in your garage?

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes. One of my coworkers has done exactly that.

That's good to know. But I can imagine the electricity bill.

Blacksmithing is mainly done with coal, not electricity. So just imagine all the dust in addition to cost for that instead =)

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I don't want to.

Propane forges are pretty cheap. The real money is in the anvils..

[–] Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Interesting, I didn't know these existed. Thanks!

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah! For sure. You can pick up a little 3 venturi one for knife making for under $200. I'm no expert by any means, but I have my fun.

Hobbyist blacksmith here.

I read a book on blacksmithing, built a small forge in the backyard, and put my tools in the garage. It's fun, fascinating, and surprisingly approachable.

To start blacksmithing you need a space to pile up some charcoal, hairdryer and a tube, a hammer and tongs + something that can be used as an anvil(i have used a piece of old railway on a log

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah you can easily set up a home forge.

Knifemakers typically.

I have friends that 3d print and woodwork, plus one who was setting up a forge to smith when life threw some bad stuff at him (fire, car accidents, etc). It doesn't seem strange to me. Lots of people like hobbies and smiting/knifemaking seems relatively popular, if a bit expensive.

On the other hand that woodworking friend had a whole lathe so a small forge doesn't strike me as odd. A bit of googling suggests you can get some backyard forges between $70-300, and can just DIY and make your own. By contrast my camera (OM-D Em1 Mk III) cost me somewhere between $1.5-2k, with just one of my lenses also costing $1.5k.

My GPU also cost that.
