3.5 years? That is longer than most people want to stay in Victoria. lol Of course, that doesn't say much about me, as I've lived here all of my life. ;) I have not been able to find one person to help me learn more in this area. My younger brother and I started blacksmithing together as it seemed like the "next" step with both of us having worked metal in the past. We started with railroad spike knives and steak turners, all the while waiting to find the help we needed to figure out some of the "secrets" involved with this art. My "shop" (if you can call it that) is a section of my back porch that can house my Hill anvil, tools, and of course my gas forge. I have on old Morgan building that I'm making plans for after the holidays. To tell the truth, I haven't even looked into "local" organizations, but I'm up for joining if I can ever get away from work. As far as making a run down to Corpus, I don't mind a drive to do some forging. The only problem I have is work. I'm booked solid through the middle of January. :( Well, I guess just keep in touch and we'll see if we can get together sometime and hammer something out. ;) Take care, Jeremy
