Hi fellows My name is Zak and I am VERY new to smithing. I have a great deal of knowledge and a great deal of humbleness in knowing that I know VERY LITTLE. I am looking to know when and where you guys get together to practice (is there a better term, I couldn't think of one) so I could learn and share some of my experiences with others. I am really excited to learn more, but am lacking in supplies and time. I live in an apartment in Anchorage's south side so doing my work here is a no go, but my mom in Palmer has lent me her garage, so at least I have a place to work from time to time. I am not interested in weapons or even knives right now, I am interested in learning to make CONSISTANT shapes and to produce work that can be repeated and sold. I would also love to learn to do repairs as well.
Thank you gentlemen for your kind attention.
Sincerly
Zak Lockman
