Well, I am new here and was wondering if anyone in Georgia, particularly around Madison or Athens, could assist me in becoming an apprentice, preferably a paid one, so that i can gaint the skills and tools to become a bladesmith or blacksmith. I have no skills in hot metal working but i did go to school for car body work. Any help would be greatly appreciated and employment even more so. Thanks to whomever decides to read this and help me.
