I just joined the The Guild of Metalsmiths but the next class that isn't full starts October 2014. Anyone know of a local class that starters before that? That you.

Does anyone know if Stumptown Forge is closed? I was trying to order a hammer from him. Thank you.

Greetings All, Just turned 50 a bit ago and decided it was time to do something I've wanted to do for many years. Will be signing up for a blacksmithing class that is offered by The Guild of Metalsmiths, when the next newsletter comes out. The classes begin either in January or March. Also I'm looking at a Welding Technology Certificate, that is offered by a local trades school. I'm in a occupation that has nothing to do with blacksmithing. That's why I'm really looking forward to trying it. Anyone here who started blacksmithing later in life? Would really like to hear what your stories are. Thanks for reading. Regards, T.
