Hello from Boise Idaho! | Introductions Come First, Right? | Forum

Good evening from Boise! I'm honestly not sure what to put here, and sorry if i say or post wrong. My name is Mike, i'm recently separated from the US Navy, i did 4 years total in the navy, 1 year of school and 3 stationed over seas on a DDG. i'm back in Boise to go to school and hopefully learn a valuable trade. I would like to learn to be a black smith because its something that has always interested me, just the whole process of it. i had grandpa who recently passed away who made knives as a hobby and i would like to follow in his foot steps but more of the smithing side. i am looking for anyone willing to mentor me or take on an apprentice because that's one of the best ways for me to learn, its hard reading something and then trying to mimic it as opposed to having guidance and advice, and for someone to point out when i messed up and ways to correct that mess up. thank you again and i hope to be a valuable contributing member.
