Howdy all! I am Zech, a 29 year old hobbyist who's extremely interested in getting into blacksmithing. I've always wanted to do it in the past, but only recently do I have the time and space to really get into it. I just this forum about a week ago and have been reading here and there, among other readings, and I'm hoping to get started on building a forge in the next week or two. I've always been a natural tinkerer and handyman as well as a fast learner, so I'm trying to pace myself a little here too.
I did have several questions about some specifics on burners and forges but I don't necessarily want to ask them here if it's recommended that I ask them in the Burners or Forges threads.
Anyway, I hope to learn more from here as well as others in the area. I've already read about a couple smiths near me in addition to some beginning courses. If there's anything else I should know right off the bat, please let me know!
