@Charles R. Stevens Ahh yes, that is what i meant was the improvised anvil. I had read through that thread and found it very helpful. I did not read that one on side blast forges, i will read that thank you! I have PPE, do need some more cotton shirts though, worked in many jobs where small bits come flying at your face (learned from my younger self to wear safety glasses). @4elements Thank you for all the heads up on local places. Yes i am in Kenmore. I will have to look into the place in Clearview, not far from me. I looked into NWBA but the forums don't seem as active as here but i will definitely look into their events more.

Hello all! My name is Andrew and i have loved the idea of blacksmithing. I'm always down to learn new things and give new things a try. Would love to meet up with local smiths and see how its done. Talked to David Lisch a couple years back when he had his studio in SODO and just found out there was another guy up in The Country Village until he got pushed out due to condo's coming in. I know i should be starting off with some ASO and maybe a DIY forge of some sort but want to see some forging in person before i purchase.
