Hello everyone I am new here and I want to start learning about being and becoming a blacksmith.

Hello and welcome. You have found a great place to start.  There are a lot of very experienced and helpful Smiths here. If you have any questions, try the search tool as I have found, as a beginner myself,  that most of my questions have already been asked and answered. If you still can't find a answer...ASK....the people here are more than willing to share their knowledge.

Thank you for the reply.

Welcome aboard, glad to have you. There is a LOT of reading available here, literally thousands of posts on almost any subject you can think of. If you don't understand what you read, please give a shout someone here will answer even if we have to make something up.

Frosty The Lucky.

Ha! Good one Frosty.

find a local group, lots to learn and most of us are willing to help out.Also if you are close enough to Auburn I would suggest the New England school of metal smithing. They offer great classes. 

Thank you all

And don't get discouraged if the only thing you can find is what would be a good answer, if only the pictures were still there. 

Also, don't get discouraged by the "Forbidden" glitch.  If it pops up, just wait awhile and try again, or follow the other various Voodoo Chicken methods that have been posted of getting it to go away in the "Feedback and Support" forum under "Found a problem, anyone else experiencing it?" post.

Finally, don't be surprised if/when this post gets moved to introductions.

I found it  and I have already found lots of where are the pictures so I can see what the heck they are talking about.
