Hi from Sweden

[aeon]

Just popped in to introduce myself.

I´m a 32 year old blacksmith from sweden.
I found you by accident while looking for other info.

However all of you together seem to hold an enormous amount of knowledge, and i like the friendly tone you seem to have on this forum.

So, i thogt i´d stick around for a while, there´s always something to be learned, and with a little luck, i might even be of some help for someone.

Mind tho, that i´m a begginer(soon enogh anyway) when it comes to muzzleloaders.

Best Regards: Aeon :hatsoff:

Ps: Please apologise any spelling or otherwise grammatic errors, since English is not my first language.

Welcome Aeon! :hatsoff:
You've come to the right place.
Don't worry about your grammar, we know what you are saying.
If the spelling police came here, half of us would be locked up. :haha:

Welcome. Don't worry about the English or grammer. It's always nice to hear from the European shooters and hear how you do things. We can always learn from you.

 

[mazo kid]

Welcome Aeon, glad to meet you. Your English is just fine! I would be interested in learning about shooters over there. Emery

Welcome to the camp. being a blacksmith you can probably offer some great tips for those of us in the primitive forums. :hatsoff:

Welcome Aeon. Almost everyone here talks funny. Glad your here. My granpa was full swede, Gustav Johnson, and recently my brother met my distant cousins over there.

What are you shooting?

Howdy Aeon. Welcome to the group. Don't worry about typos and mispellings. Most of the folks here can't spell or type either and English is their first language! :rotf:

Yepp, the factory is actually just 4km from my home.

They are owned by Ford tho, so i guess it´s an American company after all! :hmm:

 

[aeon]

akjim:

Thats actually quite impressive.

"Yag Kant inta prata svenski oska.."
Shold be:
Jag kan inte prata svenska heller (Ocksa(oska)= To, Heller= Eather).

Seems to be quite a bunch of swedish descendants here: akjim, Rocky J and Gus so far!

Thank you for a warm welcome!

Snake Dr. :

Well if you want me to! :grin:

I´m a "traditional" blacksmith, mainly working with the anvil, hammer and a coalforge.
But since it´s 2008 i also work with welders, woodpeckers, gasforge and other powertools!

I´m not working fulltime as a blacksmith tho, but has my own forge!

Some samples of my work for you:

Regards: Aeon

Edit:
That didn´t work did it !?
No, photos!
Is it possible to uppload photos from my harddrive? :hmm:

 

[aeon]

Gus:

I´m not shooting anything at the moment.

I found this forum, while looking for info about forging "handgonnes".

If i find the time i´ll soon be shoting one of those! :grin:

Translation and edit:

"Yag Kant inta prata svenski oska.."
Shold be:
Jag kan inte prata svenska heller (Ocksa(oska)= To, Heller= Eather).

Heller= Neither (forgot to check my spelling, sorry). :redface:
Not sure tho, there seems to be a grammar issue!

Translation for the rest of you:
Jag kan inte prata svenska heller = I don´t speak Swedish neither(to)!

I was wondering, do you work with the scouts at all? I plan on traveling to Sweden in 2011 for the World Jamboree. I was wondering if Muzzleloading and Blacksmithing were popular with the scouts there.
