Hello I am new to this website and new to forum-like websites, and honestly new to using tools. I hope I posted this in the right place, I apologize if I didn't. I have a shed with absolutely nothing inside it and have absolutely no tools. I so badly want to turn it into a workshop with a forge and tools and all kinds of equipment and expand my knowledge of tools and blacksmithing but don't know where or how to start. I wanted to start by making simple beginner projects out of a propane forge (knives, fire pokers, marshmallow roasting sticks, etc.) I originally wanted to build my first forge on my own by purchasing all of the tools needed to make the forge and propane blowers and all of what's needed in order to get a gas forge going. But after more research and thinking, I would instead like to buy a gas forge off of eBay and buy more tools as I go, but I am unsure on how good the ones on eBay are, or if they are good for beginners. I do live near an art center where they do have blacksmithing and all some related arts, but they had to shut down due to Covid. I was hoping I could get some advice on what to do being I am a beginner, anything would be appreciated. Thank you
