kunkle Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Hi,I am trying to find a blacksmith group near Wilmington, De. Like within a 1/2 hr of Wilmington, I work 6 days a week and have school 3 night a week so cant travel too much. If there isn't one, I would like to start one. Anyone send me a message with interest. I have taken 2 classes, so basically I know nothing. I bought what I could from a small shop that closed up, so I have equipment and little skill. So if anyone nearby want to either teach me or learn with me drop me a note. Thanks,Kunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dickb Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hands on blacksmithing with an experienced blacksmith is a good way to learn, but ....The internet is a great source of information. You can find hundreds of articles/tutorials on Google and on Youtube. There are two books which should be required reading of new blacksmiths :1 New Edge of the Anvil: A Resource Book for the Blacksmith by Jack Andrews 2 The Art of Blacksmithing by Ales BealerWorking six days and school three nights doesn't leave you a lot of free time, but reading and internet can be shoe horned in at your won convenience. Good LuckP.S. Blacksmithing words of wisdom. "Hold the black end and hammer on the red end" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
