Hello from a flyover state!

[Moly-Elsabeth Owens]

Hello! My name is Moly Owens, I am a /very/ new blacksmith (apprentice... lets be real). I've got hooks and nails down. I am starting to move into larger things. I am currently employed as a blacksmith in my state, that is where I am learning most of my skills. 

 

Thanks!

Hi Moly, Welcome. If you have not met and joined BAM, the Blacksmiths Association of Missouri, look them up. Good people, lots of experience to learn from. Well established active group. Al

Welcome aboard Moly.  I’m curious to hear more about how one gets employed as a blacksmith.  I’d love to hear more about how you came to become an apprentice.  It sounds like it could be a story that I’d right up our alley.

As per usual, allow me to direct you to the must see thread for new members: Read This First

Welcome from a southern neighbor. There is a smaller blacksmith group near you. We have been to some of their hammer-in's and they are a great bunch of folks. A couple live in Ozark. They have a facebook page Blacksmith Friends of Newtonia if you do facebook.
