At the start of all things metal

I am just begining in the metal field, Blacksmithing being my mine muse. I am so happy to have found this site. What a great source of information and inspiration for me at my finger tips.

When I say I am just beggining, I mean it. I have no background in any metal or iron what so ever. My Grandpa was a mechanic and also worked for an electric company in Illinois. My Uncle Tim is a gear head, mechanic and retired race car driver. He still works on cars. I guess much of my interest has been fueled by them. I have always been interested in the history of Blacksmithing and the metal arts in general, I just recently chose it as a path for myself and I have never been so excited about something. I have researched a great deal of books and I am always looking for more. At the present I am reading "The Art of Blacksmithing". I really enjoy it as it goes into the history and details different types of metals/irons. It also described how to make charcoal which I fully plan to try. I can't wait really. I am not sure when I will have a chance to do this but I can think of nothing else.
