I am a fair way away here in Hamilton but if you are in the area you are welcome to drop by. You should join OABA we have monthly meetings around the province and it is often the best way to meet people who are in your own backyard. We have a workshop with Brian Brazeal coming up in the fall and I believe a couple spots have recently opened up, even if not you can attend as a spectator.

On the off chance it isn't obvious, OABA's website is www.ontarioblacksmiths.ca.

You may want to check out Lang Pioneer Village, they have a blacksmiths shop.

OABA has a few members around Peterborough, although I don't think any of them other than Josh (who is only very loosely from around Peterborough) monitor this forum.

In terms of professional blacksmiths, have you checked out Dragon's Forge?

Hey. My names Chris Kent and Im out near the belleville/ napanee area. I am still starting out. Trail and error and spending a lot of time fixing mistakes. I am not a prefessional. If you are interested your more than welcome to come out this way to try things out and make some tooling. Just chip in for coal or pro pro. I dont have any large equpiment just lots of elbow grease.

thanks Chris. I may take you up on that. I work in Cobourg so I am close to Belleville most days.
