You’ve shaped metal with fire and force, and in return, it has shaped you. You understand the patience of a slow temper, the strength of steel, and the satisfaction of holding something you made with your own hands. Whether forging tools, weapons, or art, you know the sound of hammer on anvil like your own heartbeat.
Did you train under a master, or learn by necessity? What was the first thing you ever forged – and where is it now? Do you shape metal for beauty, for war, or for something else entirely?
