Hi Abby, welcome to the insanity. My wife started along the journey several years ago, after watching me hammer hot metal for about 30 years. She dosen't post but looks over my shoulder a lot and I can say she picks up on how to do things a lot faster than I. A member here jlpservices does some instructional videos and my wife follows her on the forum and on her you tube channel. Finding a blacksmithing club close to you will be the best way to learn, nothing beats hands on. You might want to contact these folks North Texas Blacksmith Association.
