A.S and Sons Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hey everyone! Just putting some feelers out, to see if anyone is from/around the Toronto, Ontario, Canada area. I'm seriously interested in getting into the art of Blacksmithing. It's in my family, distantly, as my great-grandfather was a blacksmith in the Maritimes. I don't have much background knowledge base to work with, but will scour all the reference sections of this forum for every tidbit I can find. In the meantime, trying to get an idea of the cost of building and setting up a little hobby shop in my backyard.Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Welcome A.S. I'm sure there some here from Canada, possibly even local to you. Cost to set up can be zero which you'll soon realise when you peruse the other "starter posts". I'm sure you'll find plenty of useful info here....I do!

Curtis87 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I recently started Blacksmithing in Vankleek Hill, Ontario. Glad to see there are some members nearby (relatively speaking of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedMck Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Did you ever get set up. Just researching my own forge in Toronto now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
