Henlybenderson Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Well I guess I should go ahead and introduce myself on here. My name is Ben and I live in Murrieta, which is in between LA and San Diego on the east side of the hills from camp Pendleton... I'm finally pursuing blacksmithing though I've been interested in it most of my (relatively short) life. I signed up for a Saturday afternoon class that runs 3 months at an adult school in Escondido and am looking forward to learning something new and actually pounding on metal! :) I'm also looking forward to the change of pace from my engineering day job so something a bit more down to earth...

SoCal Dave Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Greetings Ben: You are very fortunate to live near Vista Forge in Vista California. They have wonderful programs for every level. Check them out if you haven't done so already. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

781 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Welcome to the group I second Frosty to say the California Blacksmith group is the way to go even if some events may be a long drive. Heard many a great thing about them and have enjoyed the occasional group publicaton I happen to run across at other blackmith events.

Henlybenderson Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Thanks everyone, I keep meaning to join CBA I just haven't gotten around to it yet. They do look very well organized! I found vista forge online but I haven't had a chance to call over there. I'll probably just drive over there some saturday and say hello... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
