Hey guys.

im just starting out and would like to know if anyone in here lives in toronto.

Thanks Patrick

I am in Hamilton an hour away (assuming no traffic) 

Have you joined The Ontario Artist Blacksmith Association?  There are a number of OABA members in Toronto.  We have a meeting next weekend in Collingwood.

How do I go about joining the association?  

Welcome aboard Patrick, glad to have you. If you'll put your general location in the header folk will know where you are without having to remember THIS post. You'll be surprised how many IFI folk live within visiting distance.

YES, get hooked up with John and the local club, there is no better way to learn the craft than at the anvil with an experienced smith. You'll learn more in an afternoon than many days, weeks or even months of trying to figure it out yourself. No joke.

Frosty The Lucky.

Where do I find out where the meets are?  I would be interested in joining the club and going to meets if they were easily accessible from my area.
