Grem Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Hello, I'm Ryan. I recently took interest in sword and armor smithing and I came across this forum. I was wondering if anyone here would be able/willing to help mentor and teach someone the start of a new trade? I didn't know if there were any gatherings or I guess school around that would aid me better than youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLFORGE Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Howdy all. I have been busy trying to get established in Las Vegas lately and haven't responded to some of you sorry. I am a blacksmith with some experience and knowledge on most smithing arts, tools, swords, knives , armor, etc. I have everything to set up a forge( anvil, tongs,hand blower, etc.) except a place like many of you. Get in touch and maybe we can all get together on a place or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'll be going through Las Vegas New Mexico in a couple of weeks on my way to an SCA event in Colorado with a couple of forges (The Y1k set up and a more modern one that doesn't require a dedicated bellows thrall...)
