Huge thanks everyone I live in Vermont, I know of only one school in the state and frankly I unfortunately do not have the time to be able to invest in a regular class schedule I know that sounds like a cop out but to be honest the way I work I do not have the time I would love to have to drive over an hour each way for a class, smithing for me for the forseeable future will be something I will really only be able to do in my spare time.
While I am aware of the hurdles in front of me doing this as a self taught thing at present I do not see any options, now if there is someone in the state that would be willing to do things on a less than regular schedule that could be a negotiable thing.
