Thank you all for your responses, and I apologize for posting mine late. Lou, you are correct, I signed up at Brooksfield for their class this coming September. Sadly it seems that Blacksmithing hasn't gotten that much of a foothold here in CT, but I'm keeping my hopes up that I'll be able to turn it into something for my self. I've thought about self teaching, but unfortunately I don't really have a work area right now. I was hoping that through this class I just might meet a couple keep, and earn enough knowledge (Though this class and subsequent ones) that maybe I can apprentice with someone in the area.
George, I really appreciate all the information, I've noticed that the US doesn't seem to offer as much in terms of Blacksmithing as some other countries do. My interest lies in Bladesmithing, so I assume that the Knifemakers guild might be something to look into. Its good to know that other Blacksmiths have things done via Boilermakers or other guilds/unions, or just don't need any type of certificate.
I've looked into ABANA and I browse their site from time to time, other then them, does anyone happen to have any other similar sites that they favorite? Places that might give out good information for beginner and seasoned blacksmiths alike?
