My 17 year old son is interested in starting blacksmithing, but I honestly have no idea where to start at gathering the essential tools (including the anvil) that he will need to get started. He has been reading things online and we purchased a book for him and his cousin showed him a little when we were visiting them this summer, but other than that we’re all new to this hobby. Any help, tips, and/or hints on how to get started would be greatly appreciated!
Also thought it might be good for him to attend any meetings you have so he can learn from you all. Do you regularly meet in the Eagle River/Anchorage/Palmer/Wasilla area? We’re willing to travel to any of these locations so he can meet up with fellow enthusiasts.
Thanks!
