Hello all,
I started blacksmithing through classes at Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle a few years ago, and have paid their daily shop rental fees when the itch to smack hot steel comes upon me. Given current circumstances closing Pratt indefinitely, I'm now looking into setting up my own space. I've lurked here from time to time, but now that I need to source everything myself, I think it's time to come out of the shadows and talk to folks. Anyone in the greater Seattle area with a lead on good local suppliers, feel free to drop a tip here! I will also gladly accept your most embarrassing newbie blacksmith stories in lieu of useful information.
Thanks in advance for all the dumb questions I will surely subject you all to.
Cheers!
Alex
