On being a Gemini
Have you ever had an argument – with yourself? And lost? Ahh, the joys of mild schizophrenia.
Here I am, already a JOAT (Jack Of All Trades) with enough varied interests to skin a cat, and here I am wanting to start up yet another hobby – and an expensive one, at that.
Well, expensive if I do it the way I want to, anyhow…
Lately I seem to have caught a bit of the blacksmithing bug, and have been doing a lot of reading online and watching various training videos on the subject. I’ve learned some good stuff (someone finally made a nice vid of an actual Japanese master bladesmith constructing a katana) and gotten a little frustrated by not being able to go out to the garage and pound something with a hammer.
Something tells me the city might complain if I built a forge on the sidewalk…
