Oh boy xD Lotta things went down. Well we do have an s-ton of bamboo growing on island. Some parts of our forests are just blanketed with the stuff. Though I believe certain laws prevent people from just cutting it down without a permit or such. But that is interesting on how there's different kinds of possible fuel options than just coal.

​Oh i'm VERY sure xD I had no dad or brothers growing up so my Sisters were the ones who always showed me up in life. I didn't mean any hate or nothing with my comment I was just going along with the guy sterotype that we collect knives haha.

Hey guys, Thank you all for the warm welcome. Feels like a great community here and it's a real testament to how well technology does to help a guy out. Personally my goals with this is just to learn how to make tools for myself and others. As much as I love browsing a Home Depot for tools, I really would love to swing a hammer that I made on my own. Built with my own specifications in mind. As a male citizen in America, I'm sure we all have a knife or two in our pockets or toolboxes and in high school I would make my own designs with measurements and lengths on page so it would be amazing to take one of those from the page and put it into my real life collection.

​Oh cool! Would you know how to contact him by any chance? Sounds like a good starting point

Hi There, My name is Richard Medina. I am 19 years old, turning 20 in June, and I'm looking to start reaching for a certain dream of mines and take up Blacksmithing. After some unsuccessful searches through craigslist, google, newspapers, etc. trying to find somebody locally to Apprentice under I've decided to check out some blacksmithing forums to see who is around locally. Hopefully to help guide me through the processes, teach me what I need to know. Because, being fully honest, I don't even know where to start.
