I've been working the last few years as a Biological Research Technician, and I'm realizing that my true calling lies elsewhere. I've had the chance to do some forge work and found that I really enjoy it. I've made 6 or 7 knives and I'd love to learn to make other things as well. I'm a quick learner, a hard worker, and I'm fun to work with. I am a creative person, and I love to work with my hands. Blade and blacksmithing are crafts I'm passionate about and I want to learn more. If you're looking for someone to teach, or maybe someone to help out around the shop, please send me an email.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

Good question. Folks need to know where Nick is and how far he can realistically travel to get to someone's shop on a regular basis. .... That is unless Nick plans on sleeping on the floor between forge and anvil. :playfull:

sorry, I forgot to mention that bit. I'm currently in Tacoma, though I'm willing to consider relocation.
