Hello, my name is Colin and I'm looking for advice on Blacksmithing. I'm relatively new, so far I have only worked on Blacksmithing and forging while I'm at home from college. All I have is a basic anvil, as well as a couple hammers and tongs, all of which I found in antique shops. As you may have inferred, I'm not very well off in terms of money (hence the antique tools) but would greatly appreciate any advice on getting started. If anyone knows a good place to start, I'm all ears, otherwise I've got my sights set on trying to make some decent knives out of some railroad spikes. I've been browsing this website off and on for awhile now, and finally decided to make an account to ask for help. If anyone has a good place to get tools and such for Blacksmithing, I would also like to know about it. I would like to continue my budding hobby, and again, any advice for a newbie would be greatly appreciated.
