Hey there, my name is korbyn milani and i am going out on a limb here. Ive always thought that metal working is such a cool craft and i've always been fascinated with it. I finally decided that it is something that i really want to pursue but unfortunately, i have no idea where to start. By chance i found this group here, and i thought that maybe you guys could help me out. I was wondering if someone out there might be willing to take me under their wing and teach me about blacksmithing.
I'm pretty much a broke collage student, but i would be more than willing to work for it. I would be happy to chop wood, clean your shop, mow the lawn. you name it. I would also pay for the materials that i used, all i would want is guidance and a place to work. And if you live in the valley, i'm not opposed to driving out, its worth it to me. i'm by no means foreign to a workshop, having used hydraulic and vacuum presses, and pretty much every power tool under the sun. you would by no means be working from scratch, i'm very comfortable and knowledgable in a shop.
I know that there are workshops here and there, but it seems that they are un-often, very expensive, and prior knowledge is needed. I know this is a large request, but it never hurts to ask. Really, even just some pointers in the right direction would also be great. thanks guys
