781 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Go to pages in the header here then blacksmith groups check by state for a group near you Check with them to see if there is anything near you happening where you can join in in person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 If you can build a fire on the ground and find two fire safe rocks to use as a hammer and an anvil you can smith! Finding someone local to yourself and doing odd-jobs for a decent hammer and an improvised anvil will put you ahead of some smiths that make a living from it in third world countries. If you are near me I'd be happy to show you the ropes some weekend and *give* you a hammer. Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksnagel Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Actually, no experience, no anything can be to your advantage. As 781 suggested, find a group or a blacksmith in your area. It is always good to learn the right way from the beginning instead of having to correct bad habits. Unless you are at latitude 90º there is a chance that there is a blacksmith or group somewhat near you. Good luck and check in often.
