Heyo, I'm Inkdevil. Though It usually gets shortened down to something or other. I've been on Gaia since 2009 or 2010, somewhere around there. I have an old account but I abandoned it and it's been gone ever since.
I'm 19.
I joined the guild because I was "Randomly selected", read the guild description and said "These people seem pretty chill, guess I'll join" Though I have to admit I've never heard of the guild before.
I'm some 19 year old dude named Andy that lives in Canada.
Let's see... Hobbies... I'll start with the fact that I'm a hoarder collector. I collect anime figures, manga/comics, records, books/poems, posters, and top shelf booze. (I have so much please help me drink it) Further more I play D&D, exclusively 5e, and I'm usually the DM. Not the greatest but I never hear my players complain. I've dabbled in many instruments but prefer the banjo and fiddle. I study any historical content related to tanks. (I'm a bit obsessed) And I'm working on building a blacksmith forge. It's going to be out of propane so lets hope I don't explode.
I've got a Dog named Sasha. She's a Springer Spaniel and the strangest dog I've every come across. Adorable, but strange.
Anywho, hopefully all goes well with me here. -Inkdevil.

Salutations, InkDevil! If I can find them somewhere around my house, I have a couple of resources that might help with constructing a propane-fueled forge. I used to make chain-mail and what not for a medieval fair in my hometown. 3nodding What have you got towards making it currently? surprised

I have the main body and kao/ceramic wool to insulate it. I've been researching the best/safest home made propane jets and I think I found the right stuff. So I'm going to buy the parts this week-end. I also already have a real nice anvil to do all the smithing on. I'll post pictures later.
Chainmail seems like it would take major patience! Very cool though. I enjoy attending the annual medieval fair here. I love watching jousting.

Once you've got the knack of fitting the rings together right, it just takes a large quantity of time to make anything largish. I could make stuff like bracelets and whatnot from it in less than half an hour, but anything intricate or large in size takes at least two hours. confused

Oh nice. You're not kidding with describing that anvil as old, it's easy to tell how much use it's seen. 3nodding Once you've got it set up, any idea what you're going to try your hand at making first?

I'll build tools to help build other things, lol. Like punches to make holes or things in different shapes to help shape other peices. Then I'll build tongs to hold metal. And eventually knives/daggers

You can never have too many knives and daggers. Especially if they are of the throwing variety. blaugh Plus, once you've gotten enough practice in, you can make even better and more efficient tools to boost your ability to craft, and instill a sense of pride in your handiwork. emotion_kirakira

For sure! I used to work with Mills and Lathes in shop class back when I was in high school, which instilled my passion for working with metal. However you removed material to get the piece you want with those tools. Now that I'm gonna be a smith, the games a bit different as a move and mold the metal to my liking. I hope one day to be proud enough of my work to deem it worthy of selling. emotion_kirakira

Plus, once you've made better tools for yourself, you can pass along your old ones to someone else who is just starting out to help them along. 3nodding I gave away all of my tools except my hammer and tongs when I moved to where I am now six years ago, and whenever I check in on the friends I left them with, it feels nice to see them being used with care.

This is true. However I tend to get attached to things I make. I don't know if I would be able to give them away easily.

Howdy Nice to meet you. I must say you have been the most interesting person Ive meet on here. Just wow. All I read was booze and you need help drinking. Done sign me up please! idk about top shelf booze but I'll drink what ever you have! Oh man another lover of the banjo and fiddle. I'm from the eastern south part of the U.S. I hear Blue Grass all day long and its nothing but those instruments and and more. Ever hear of Grandpa Jones? I like his banjo playing its really good. Also who knew Steven Martin was a banjo player too?

And there is no shame and becoming attached to your creations, as long as it's not to pieces you intend to sell. That would obviously cause you a handful of problems. sweatdrop
