Fiddlers Grove is a great place and great bunch of people! Rutherford County Blacksmiths Association is another good place and good people, in Murfreesboro. You can take lessons if you join and get your 'green card', and get some experience from some people with the 'know how'! Possum Trot Forge in Adams, Tn. is another group that meet monthly, north of Nashville, close to Springfield. Mostly though, you can gain a wealth of knowledge here on this forum. Lots of pros on this site, with all types of backgrounds. Welcome to the site!
