bajajoaquin Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Does Andy Rooney wear boxers or briefs? Depends! How much experience do you have? How much money do you have? How much training do you have? I take classes with the Vista Forge group of the CBA. They're only $5 per month, but I also need to join the museum which hosts the shop and the CBA. Even the basic class gets into tempering. If you don't have any experience with it (I know I don't), that would be of some value. But let me put it another way: When I used to race cars, I started out running SCCA autocross in my local stadium parking lot. Cost me about $25/day to participate. I had fun, but I wanted to be faster. So I bought new wheels, tires, shocks, and sway bars for my Miata. Cost, all told, about $2000. I also spent $125 on the autocross school. The difference in my lap times from the school was waaaaaay more than the difference from the parts I bought. If you have the money, do it. You'll get a full day of forging and meet some other smiths in your area. You might even learn something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
