Jim Poulmas Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Keep in mind also, there's lots of instruction in the region. In CT there are a few places to take classes. The Brookfield Craft Center offers blacksmithing classes. If you want you venture out of state you should check out the New England School of Metalwork, in Maine.

new guy Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 well just to throw this out there for smiths in the danbury area, i may be voulenteering at the danbury railway mueseam and they have one of the few surviving rr smithy in ct. they have a few really good smiths there (not me other people). they do some demos on holidays and such or when stuff needs repairing. and working with 3 smiths is way better than a lesson. 1. its free (good in a down economy) 2. instead of 1 person helping 12 people you have 3 people helping one. 3. it is way more fun to get to come back and have a continued work and devolopment of skills over a year or 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
