Hello. I am a high school student from Rhode Island and in order to graduate, I need to complete a senior project. I chose blacksmithing as my topic. I need a mentor to do this. The only requirement, to my knowledge, is completing a background check. If any users are in Rhode Island and would be so kind as to help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Look up the New England Blacksmith Assoc. and attend the meetings. You will learn more in a day than you can imagine. You may also meet someone who can answer your questions about blacksmithing. Please keep us informed as to your progress.
