If I could do it physically I would consider it. I, love to make things!

Go for it. My wife is in her 60s and just recently started Smithing. She moves just as metal with her technique as I can using brute force.:) She is the artist in the family. Check out some of the galleries at ABANA.

Smithing is just like martial arts. When I was practicing aikido, there was nothing related to force. Use force in aikido and the opponent defeats you...just like smithing, use force, metal will not move, you get tired even before you started. By the way, back in the aikido day, you should have seen how 10 year old girls with the right technique tossed 120 kg guys...

I really appreciate all your information and encouragement! I will do some investigating, maybe I found my calling! Time will tell...

Check out the book "The Backyard Blacksmith" by Lorelei Simms -- it's a great introduction to basic blacksmithing.
