Project The Forge of Hephaestus in Venezuela:
The blacksmiths have a saying of which we are proud:
"everything a blacksmith needs is something to heat the metal,
something to hit it and something to beat it with ..." This maxim
is so true in any corner of the world where there is A blacksmith and
in any era of the earth, however it is currently difficult to pay all
the implements and tools necessary to have a workshop of blacksmithing
and welding. To be able to make with your own hands any metal object
that you imagine is something that is priceless! And although there
are a thousand machines capable of making any piece in series nothing
beats the constant and dedicated work of the craftsman.
The profession of blacksmith and welder I have learned
empirically, beginning as an assistant, with tools of other people,
the work is so exciting that I have dedicated myself to the task of
professionalizing myself in that subject and obtaining certificates,
techniques and Skills to be a worthy blacksmith. For me, I have sold
many precious articles, I can not find the amount of money needed to
buy the tools I need, since every few days the economy is against the
execution of the project, which is why I turn to all the people who Is
not only available to support with what he believes convenient but
also believes in how interesting and brilliant this project is.
Blacksmiths and welders in the community where I live but there
are few who do it with passion, much less those who seek to be
professionals in their area, limiting themselves only to sporadic jobs
without thinking that their hands can bring something useful
especially to the Children in schools. My vision is not only to be a
blacksmith who manufactures bars, doors, protectors and pieces of all
kinds but also contribute in some way to the duty of every citizen
with his country, its people and its future.
My objective is to collect the money to buy the main implements
and working tools (Bench grinder, Oscillator grinder, Bench drill,
Bench sander, Welding machine, Dremel, hammers, pickets, gloves,
filter mask, welding lenses , Anvil, etc), buy these tools by Ebay or
Amazon (it is cheaper to buy them abroad than to buy them in my
country, the higher the volume, the cost of shipping is reduced),
except for the anvil, because obviously it is not possible to bring it
from the outside.
Your donations will be devoted to the purchase of these items,
and the workshop is completely conditioned for the project, because
the physical space is located in my own house, in the yard, every
collaboration, however small, results in immense invaluable support
For me who will be rewarded in due time.
What will be the donations and how to repay them?
In the purchase of the tools, those that by their light weight
can be bought by Amazon or Ebay as those that must buy in my country.
In the quantity desired for my project are the shipping costs.

With these links you can verify the costs of most of the tools
and equipment to buy, there is also missing the anvil, which I already
know where to buy it here in Maracay and the spare parts, materials
and equipment of protection and security. That is why the amount I
require is $ 2000, with this amount I cover all expenses and even pay
the taxes I will give to the best donors.
My proposal is: to reach the goal you can buy all the tools and start
immediately and send the three best donors a gift, distributed as follows:
1st largest donor: a sword made by me, personalized.
2nd largest donor: a dagger made by me, personalized.
3rd largest donor: a craft knife made by me, personalized.
The other people who have been kind enough to support me also
will reciprocate, in the following way, keep in touch and if they want
any dagger, handmade knife, handmade ax or knife only pay the cost of
shipping to their country, that is, Free the article.
importance:
Not only will it allow me to start my own business, but it will
give stability to me and my family. It would be an indirect support to
the inhabitants of the community where I live, something as simple as
soldering a desk and leaving it ready to be used. Give to the task of
doing it, my intention is to reverse the apathy of people, practicing
with the example of helping and encouraging to be proactive.
In this kind of thing I am new, to give some confidence that is
recommended? Contact through social networks? And in this way maintain
constant exchange of information? Any suggestions would be helpful!!!
The only point where there may be risks is in the intention to
buy a large part through Ebay or Amazon especially in the shipping
costs, that is why I left an optimal margin as far as the money
needed, which if it were enough would serve To pay the shipping to
those who want some item that I do.
Any form of help is pleasantly acceptable, the simple act of
trying to help an unknown human being is in itself something great,
which brings us to our true humanity. I am ready for any support and
exchange of any kind that contributes to the reciprocal success
between who we are in this page.
Any advice will be well
received, thank you very much!!!
Proyecto La Forja de Hefesto en Venezuela:
Los herreros tenemos un refrán del cual sentirnos orgullosos: "todo lo que necesita un herrero es algo en donde calentar el metal, algo en donde golpearlo y algo con qué golpearlo"... Esta máxima es tan cierta en cualquier rincón del planeta donde exista un herrero y en cualquier época de la tierra, sin embargo actualmente es algo difícil costear todos los implementos y herramientas necesarios para disponer de un taller de herrería y soldadura. Poder elaborar con tus propias manos cualquier objeto en metal que imagines es algo que no tiene precio! y aunque existan mil máquinas capaz de hacer cualquier pieza en serie nada supera el trabajo constante y dedicado del artesano.
La profesión de herrero y soldador la he aprendido de forma empírica, comenzando como ayudante, con herramientas de otras personas, la labor es tan apasionante que me he dedicado a la tarea de profesionalizarme en dicha materia e ir obteniendo los certificados, las técnicas y las capacidades para ser un herrero digno. Por más que he vendido muchos artículos preciados no logro dar con la cantidad de dinero necesario para la compra de las herramientas que necesito, ya que cada pocos días la economía atenta contra la ejecución del proyecto, es por ello que recurro a toda la gente que no solo está en disponibilidad de apoyar con lo que crea conveniente sino que además crea en lo interesante y genial que resulta este proyecto.
Herreros y soldadores en la comunidad donde vivo hay, pero son pocos los que lo hacen con pasión y mucho menos los que buscan ser profesionales en su área, limitándose sólo a trabajos esporádicos sin pensar en que sus manos pueden aportar algo útil sobre todo a los niños en las escuelas. Mi visión es no solo ser un herrero que fabrique rejas, puertas, protectores y piezas de toda índole sino además contribuir de alguna manera con el deber de todo ciudadano con su país, su gente y su futuro.
Mi objetivo es reunir el dinero para comprar los principales implementos y herramientas de trabajo (Esmeril de banco, Esmeril oscilador, Taladro de banco, Lijadora de banco, Maquina de soldar, Dremel, martillos, piquetas, guantes, mascara con filtro, lentes para soldar, yunque, etc), comprar dichas herramientas por Ebay o Amazon (es más económico comprarlas por fuera que comprarlas en mi país, mientras mayor volumen se abaratan costos de envío) exceptuando el yunque ya que obviamente por su peso es inviable traerlo de afuera.
Sus donaciones estarán destinadas justamente a la compra de estos artículos, ya el taller está completamente acondicionado para el proyecto, pues el espacio físico está ubicado en mi propia casa, en el patio, cada colaboración por más pequeña que sea resulta en un inmenso apoyo invaluable para mí los cuales serán recompensados oportunamente.
¿En que estarán destinadas las donaciones y como retribuirlas?
En la compra de las herramientas, aquellas que por su ligero peso puedan ser compradas por Amazon o Ebay como aquellas que deba comprar en mi país. En la cantidad anhelada para mi proyecto se encuentran los gastos de envíos.

Con estos enlaces pueden verificar los costos de la mayoría de las herramientas y equipos a comprar, falta además el yunque, el cual ya sé dónde comprarlo aquí en Maracay y los repuestos, materiales y equipos de protección y seguridad. Es por ello que la cifra que requiero es de 2000$, con esta cantidad cubro todos los gastos e incluso costear el envío de los tributos que daré a los mejores donantes.
Mi propuesta es la siguiente: de alcanzar la meta podré comprar todas las herramientas y empezar en lo inmediato y enviarles a los tres mejores donantes un regalo, distribuido de la siguiente manera:
1er mayor donante: una espada hecha por mí, personalizada.
2do mayor donante: una daga hecha por mí, personalizada.
3er mayor donante: una navaja artesanal hecha por mí, personalizada.
Las demás personas que hayan tenido la amabilidad de apoyarme también les retribuiré, de la siguiente manera, mantener el contacto y si desean alguna daga, cuchillo artesanal, hacha o navaja artesanal solo pagarían el coste de envío a su país, es decir, les haría gratis el artículo.
Importancia:
No sólo permitirá iniciar mi propio negocio sino que dará estabilidad a mí y mi familia, sería un apoyo indirecto a los habitantes de la comunidad donde vivo, algo tan sencillo como soldar un pupitre y dejarlo listo para ser usado y realmente son pocos los que se dan a la tarea de hacerlo, mi intención es revertir la apatía de las personas, practicando con el ejemplo de ayudar e incitando a ser proactivos.
En este tipo de cosas soy nuevo, para dar algo de confianza que se recomienda? contacto a través de las redes sociales? y de esta manera mantener constante intercambio de información? cualquier sugerencia me sería útil!!!
El único punto donde puede haber riesgos es en la intención de comprar gran parte a través de Ebay o Amazon sobre todo en los costos de envío, es por ello que dejo un margen óptimo en cuanto el dinero necesario, lo cual si llegase a sobrar serviría para pagar el envío a aquellos que deseen algún artículo que yo haga.
Cualquier forma de ayuda es gratamente aceptable, el simple hecho de intentar ayudar a un ser humano desconocido es de por si algo grande, que nos lleva a nuestra verdadera humanidad.. Estoy presto para cualquier apoyo e intercambio de cualquier índole que contribuya al éxito reciproco entre quienes estamos en esta página.
Cualquier consejo será bien recibido, muchas gracias!!!
