first timer

Hi all,
I'm recently retired and looking to fill my time by making some knives. Are there any bladsmiths in Colorado that would be willing to take an afternoon and show a newbee how to forge a knife?
Thanks
Greg

Hi all,
I'm a retired engineer looking to get into knivemaking as a past time. I've got some books and I'm ready to make a gas fordge, were would be the best place to buy the supplies? The main thing I'm not sure on is the gas burner, can you make them or is it best to buy one?

Also if there are any members out there in Co. I'd love to drop by some afternoon to learn from you.
Thanks
Greg
