I just stumbled on this site after researching smithing for the last couple of weeks and I have learned more here in the last hour than anywhere else. Thank you for providing a great site. Anyways I have always had an interest in working metal since I was a kid heating coat hangers in a camp fire. I haven't started smithing yet but I can't wait to get my supplies and forge ready. I'm in the Augusta, GA area are there any smiths nearby? Again thank you for the great information on this site, I plan on many late nights reading up on everything.
