    5. Hi there! I'm so glad you're interested. Unfortunately, they only have an email address listed. A second option is to contact them through their Facebook page.

      As for high school vs. college level classes, I recommend taking a look at their website. The classes are broken down by skill level rather than academics.

      Let me know if you have more questions.

      Thanks!

    1. Hi Gavin. I'm not aware of any schools down that way, but you could try contacting Trenton Tye of Calhoun County. This link is for a recent article on him relating to the show "Forged In Fire": http://www.walb.com/story/29559162/south-georgia-blacksmith-featured-on-history-channel

      Hope that helps!

    3. They don't offer regular classes, but the closest group I could find is near Auburn, Alabama.

      The Auburn Branch of the Alabama Forge Council meets in Loachapoka on the 2nd Saturday of the month at 9:00 AM. You can contact Jim Witte at Auburninfo@alaforge.org for more information.

      You may be able to get better Georgia info from one of the officers of the Alex Bealer Blacksmith Association. Their emails are available here:

    Replies
    1. As of right now there aren't any listings specific to Savannah, but you could try two things:

      1. Look at the Southeast Georgia Blacksmiths community page:

      http://southgablacksmiths.ning.com/

      2. Talk to the staff at the American College of Building Arts up in Charleston, SC. They might have some resources for you. Their website is:

  9. Are there any classes or persons willing to come or open up their forge for a bit for some military folk to come and attend? There are a few of us that would love to learn basics and how to create our own forge so that eventually we may move up in difficulty, but we would like a strong foundation to work upon. Can't expect to start at highest caliber of work and we want to put in the work, but lack a teacher and youtube only goes so far.

    Please consider adding the Spruill Arts Center, located in Dunwoody (Atlanta area) in Georgia. I have been taking some classes with John Scroggin from the Spruill Arts Center. His knowledge, ability & willingness to teach are top notch.

  14. My wife and I just did our first blacksmithing lesson with Wind Chapman of Flute's Forge in Dahlonaga, GA and he is absolutely fantastic! He can give very technical details of the metal chemistry, provides great history lessons while you learn, and even throws in some great myths and legends about blacksmiths and farriers along the way. Only 75 minutes drive from Atlanta, plus you get to see the north Georgia natural scenery along the way. Highly recommended!

  15. So on the off chance that you need to pick the best blade for your cash is
    introduction to heat treatmentessential to separate among produced and stepped blades in light of the fact that these are the important grouping you will discover regarding the assembling procedure, at the hour of getting one.
