November 12, 20187 yr Hello everyone, nice to be here. Looking for a constructive way to spend my free time and learn something at the same time so I landed on this. Always had an interest in the old ways of doing things and I think this is a happy medium. Doing research on my own, but it’s limited. My only visual experience is YouTube and Forged in Fire but you can’t interact and ask a tv questions.

November 12, 20187 yr How old the old ways? Pre 1000 C.E.? For 19th and early 20th century have you read the Foxfire books, especially "Foxfire 5: Ironmaking, Blacksmithing, Flintrock Rifles, Bear Hunting, and Other Affairs of Plain Living". Here in the USA when people use the term "traditional" they often mean 19th century and often English/Northern European though there are a lot of other "traditions" around.

November 13, 20187 yr Author Thank you for all the responses. I did find that Phillip Simmons Blacksmith Guild into on here and was planning on the Dec 1st demo. Really looking forward to that and getting some actually experience seeing a blacksmith work. I’ll have to look up ABANA affiliates clubs near me, thanks Irondragon. And to Mr Powers question, I was thinking of 19th and 20th century. I’m gonna check out that FoxFire book you mentioned. Again, thank you for all the helpful info and encouraging words.
