Did Bill Bastas hook ya? He teaches blacksmithing at the Austin Community college. I would love to take a course from him but, alas, life just keeps getting in the way. He used to teach at Tom Clarks school also. NC is a beautiful state and there are a lot of members here on IFI from there. Good to have ya.

Welcome redanvil! I'm 16 years old and I have been smithing around two years. I'm not full time, but that is my goal. Looking forward to seeing some of your wares!
