      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

IRL Blacksmithing!

2 posts in this topic

So, I recently (within the past two years) took up blacksmithing. It is actually one of the main reasons I started playing TFC, to carry a hobby of mine into the realm of video games.

I'm not very experienced, but I can make a decent knife/axe and do some repairs on household items with the metalworking skills I've learned.

Basically, I have got all my materials for free. I use an old sledgehammer a friend gave me, make most of my tools out of railroad spikes, tractor tares, and other scrap metal I can get for free by walking around or going to a local scrapyard. The "anvil" I'm using is a tie plate I got from the abandoned railroad down the street... There are two lengths of track I'm planning on cutting with my oxy-mapp torch to get a better anvil, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Messing with railroad stuff, in use or not, is kind of a federal offense.

 

I'll post pictures of my equipment and the tools I've made in a couple days. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone else on the forum is interested in/does blacksmithing. If you do, please feel free to post pictures of your proudest creations, or just talk about it. Depending on where you live it may be hard to find people who share an interest in metalworking, so it would be interesting to see what ya'll have made from basically teaching yourself.

I'm interested in blacksmithing, but I live in the middle of a city in a apartment. Not much places to get metal or a place to smith, never mind anywhere where I can get anything that'll heat metal hot enough. Plus, I'm a minor. Don't think my mom will let me go off to smith myself a knife....

 

But I have made random figures and things by bending/cutting/folding paper clips and wires together when I can get my hands on them.

Once made a ship out of tin foil and large amounts of wire, but left it behind when we came over to Korea.
