64longstep · 11-09-2006, 10:37 PM

here is my dilemma, i'm 37 years old and my back is shot. i now cant do the things i use to do to earn a living. but i still can work on my truck as needed and such.

i have messing with blacksmithing and bladsmithing sense i was a kid, i can still sit at my anvil, the forge and the grinderand and do the work.
at this point, i'm at the state of mined if i don't starte doing something
soon, i'm gona loose my mined.
i have it in the works to take my hobby of bladesmithing and turning it in to a full time job, my only problem is where too market my product.
any advice and input would be appreciated.

Brian.

all righty then. i hope i read your post wrong. i don't feel that anyone is going to steel my ideas, and if they do, then all the power to them.

the hole idea behind this post was to get some ideas as what to do.

if i did indeed miss read your post, then i'm sorry.
