I have an acquaintance who has a great shop with all kinds of hand blacksmithing tools.
Jim holds a very casual class every Wednesday evening. Maybe, if there's more interest, he'll do more evenings.
Great for people who are interested but maybe not sure they want to commit to a clas at the Crucible (I love them too!). It's like $20 and six pack.
I'm just putting the feelers out there. If you're interested, contact me here and I'll hook you up with him.

Possibly interested.
I've got a couple of old truck brake drums that I'd once thought to convert to forges.
Send me more info in private, ok?

And for those who want to go further in exploring blacksmithing, The Crucible is offering a class in Forgewelding starting October 24. This advanced blacksmithing skill has long been the mark of “expert status” in metal working. For centuries it was the only way to weld steel and iron, most commonly being used for pattern welding blades and knives. Now the Crucible makes this skill available to you, with an intensive 2-day class that covers all the fundamentals of this ancient method. You will learn the process of repeatedly drawing out a billet of steel, then folding it back and welding it upon itself, the importance of flux, and finishing techniques.
