I'm very new to the Blacksmith trade. My brother and I just took our first Blacksmith class a couple weeks ago. We took a Beginning class from Tim Middaugh at Old West Forge. We had a great time and plan to take more classes. Right now we are trying to get our shop and forge set up. The hunt for tools begins!

Welcome aboard and we hope that you find this place some where that you can learn and post questions and such about blacksmithing.

I haven't been blacksmithing very long either, but I have learned a great deal of knowledge right off this site. Anyway, hope you like the place here, it's kinda friendly.

Glad to see you on here, Mike. I met you at Tim's class a couple of weeks ago. I second all the suggestions you have received here. Next time down White Salmon way, look me up for a visit to my shop. Jim.
