I'm a woman, I can definitely learn to smith, and have done it a few times (I do reenactment, there's basically guaranteed to be a few blacksmithsin every friend group). I definitely couldn't do it for a living, but as an occasional hobby, sure.
And I haven't met a guy into smithing who didn't also like a fit partner, so hey.
Hehe
Oh I’m not disagreeing that we can learn. I’d just heard we tend to use a different technique than men, but I’ve never tried and none of my friends that are into sca are smiths so I was never taught otherwise.
Smithing is a hobby I’d love to take up if I had a lot of time, money, and trust from my wife that I won’t hurt myself
I so metal working as a hobby. You’ll hurt yourself, but it’s usually burns and using the the hammers as a thumb detector. Fingernails grow back though usually. It’s the angle grinders you gotta respect.
Tell her that scars are cool and go for it!
Just wear eye and ear protection, and get a good leather apron and welding gloves.
