Blueprint

My thanks go out to everyone who has tried to answer me as good as they can with the little information I have given. My whereabouts is not that big of a deal people I do not understand how people could get in an argument, its funny believe me I got a laugh that this got so far off topic but honestly I am hiding because the person I am shopping for is on this forum somewhere and if I put my real name and address well they may find out and would ruin he surprise. I apologize for leading people down then prim rose path but I also thank those again for helping me.

Thanks Thomas for your reply, sorry for not knowing the terminology like I said my mom is the one that does the blacksmith. I guess what we are looking for here is a how to kinda thing for getting started. See the whole deal is the surprise for our mom other wise we would just go to her.

Hey everyone, Blueprint here! New to the forums and well to be honest I am not here for myself. My mom is a metal fanatic, but she melts in the kitchen. I know this sounds really crazy but my brothers and I are looking to get her own shop and better tools, but we do not know were to start. I know zilch about forging let alone what you need. The basics would be nice. I am really not sure what to ask here so maybe some of you can throw a lot of ideas our way. One important thing is, what kind of stores would carry this kind of stuff. LOWES, HOME DEPOT? Thanks again and thanks for the patience
