  1. John, I am also in Central NJ (Somerset) and have spent over 25 years as EMT and FF. Did you ever get your forge up and running again? I have a small 2 burner propane one and I am learning as I go when time permits.
  2. I have read some a while back in PDF. Not my favorite format to read them. I will see if I can find a print version. I've been in NJ about 12 years now. Speaking of books, any that show/illustrate the basics? I have found a few but they are more descriptive. I like to see the steps. Why I enjoy the more instructive YouTubers out there for just about any topic.
  3. I have been a lurker of sorts for a few months popping in from time to time to learn a few things. I finally decided to sign up and join in. I am a marine engineer and scientist by trade and love designing and building things- just not usually in iron. A few years back I saw some simple blacksmithing at a local renaissance faire and was hooked. I have had the luck to take a few local intro and beginner courses and about 4 months ago got a simple gas forge. This is a fun hobby, not a vocation or money maker. I am working to develop solid technique and refine my skills. I am learning the most from making mistakes :-) I am in New Jersey, Somerset County, USA.
