KJack48230 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Hello, not sure where to put this topic so I guess I'll start here. Please direct me to another if it's available. I live in Grosse Pointe and would like to get some formal training before I kill myself. Any suggestions? I thought of on-line but having an expert on hand would make me feel a LOT better. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Lodge Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 You can also take classes at Tillers International. I took the basic blacksmith class there and it was a good starting point. Like Jeff pointed out check out MABA and go to a few meetings. People there are very open to helping and I am sure could give you a few good tips and perhaps even offer a hand. http://www.tillersinternational.org/http://www.miblacksmith.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
