Rhyus

Figured instead of a new Thread i'd just restart here Hi Everyone, My name is Rhyus I'm an Avionics Technician at Hill AFB, Utah (near layton). Intrested in starting up Blacksmithing when I get back from my short deployment I should be home early may was wondering if there was anyone around my area that is currently set up because like texas they wont let me set up a forge on base. :'(

I originally come from Connecticut. I'm in school (more like training) at Sheppard Air Force Base for aircraft maintenance and unfortunatly they won't allow me to set up a forge on the base (buncha kill joys).

Hi I've been interested in black smithing ever since I was a small kid but I always chalked it up to be one of those "dreams" that'll never come true. That all changed two days ago when I fell upon this website. Since then I've read through most of the articles in this board and a few in the other boards. However I realized 2 things 1) reading this stuff can only get me so far and I would need actual practical hands-on experience and 2) I have nowhere to set-up and or practice by myself. That being said I was wondering if there was anyone local to Wichita Falls, TX that would be able to "take me under their wing" and maybe help me through my newbie stages. I'm in Texas til September for schooling so I don't really have much time during the week however I'm readily available on the weekends. Thank you in advance and I hope to be creating masterpieces with you all soon. Rhyus
