I checked out alot of Brian's videos and find them to be really interesting. I agree with 781 the opportunity to learn more than my brain would allow me to process is probable. But it would be a great experience to learn what i could remember in a few days.

Thanks guys for the introduction. I included my location South Mississippi, Summit to be exact. Very small town but been here all my life. I found a blower I had put up in the loft of my shop. It is one of the small electric blowers used to air up and keep inflated the holiday santas and other decorations in your front yard. Also found a junked Ashley insert that i can get the firebox out of. Total cost is nothing so far.

Thanks. Im from the outskirts of Summit. I will have to drop by and see what im getting in to.....

Hello all. My name is Bill and i am just introducing myself. Have fooled around with modern bending, scrolls, pickets and house decor but never fooled around with smithing. I am considering trying to give it a shot. I have a few things that i will need including anvil and few hammers that i use for the scroll bending etc....The big expense will be the forge and forge blower. I found a well known blacksmith in Brandon MS on the internet by the name Brian Brazeal. Considering a few workshop classes with him at his shop. I enjoy reading what everyone is sharing on here. Thanks..
