Saw a number of gorgeous rigs in the VT parking lot and had to see what was going on. My name is Richard and I've been a Jeep owner since '90 (I sure do miss my CJ).

Current ride is a blue '01 TJ with a 4+" lift and 33s (pictured below)

Just finished the VA4WD Annual at Oak Ridge (Nelson County) this weekend.

I live in Blacksburg and work in Roanoke (software). I also wrench / fabricate as a hobby (local blacksmith) and run Search and Rescue with the Southwest Virginia Mountain Rescue Group in Blacksburg and Black Diamond in Abingdon, VA. I like long walks on the beach [wink], shooting 360 video, and pretty much anything outdoors.

Looking forward to seeing what you guys and gals are up to.

Hey welcome! I know you only got the tail end of the forum, but check the forum every now and then for any social events or wheeling trips!

what kind of blacksmithing things do you do?

I started with leaves and scrolls, moved into knives and swords (including layered / patterned steel), had a stint in armor. Now I do yard art, flowers, hearts, bottle openers, gates, railing ... pretty much anything asked for or needed if the price is right and the materials are available.
