bhanna Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hello. Web Developer form SE FL here. Just started teaching myself smithing a couple months ago. Been slow since it seems to rain every afternoon, but It's coming along. Been leeching inspiration and information off these forums for over a month now, and figured I should say hi. Thanks to everyone on here for sharing your knowledge, it's been invaluable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Dean Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Howdy from East TEXAS!! and welcome to IFI! Look up the Florida group and check them out. Newbies are always welcome. Go to abana.org then find a group near you. 1 day with someone helping you hands on will eleminate MONTHS of working by yourself. Once again welcome.

Frosty Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Welcome aboard, glad to have ya! You might want to look up Bill Roberts in Ocala Fla. He does all kinds of metal manipulations and hangs here somewhere. Good guy all round, well worth hooking up with. Frosty the Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhanna Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 Thanks for the welcome. Thomas: I actually did look up the local blacksmith group, and they seem to hold monthly meetings for each region. Unfortunately, the SE meetings looks like they haven't happened since I've started, but I'm going to keep an eye on it. Frosty: You know if he happens to be part of the SCA? I know there are at least a couple SCA blacksmiths in FL, and all the big events around here seem to happen in Ocala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
