I wouldn't put any hope in the Society for Creative Anachronism as a
source for blacksmithing info...From what I have seen coming out of their
so called "Master Smiths", well I personally wouldn't want to let most of
it out of the studio...Be that as it may.......

You would be much better off contacting A.B.A.N.A. and seeing about
getting in touch with one of the local A.B.A.N.A. chapters in your area...
 Most of the A.B.A.N.A. people are more than generous with infor....

If I can be of any help, by all means feel free to contact me directly....

I am also looking to connect with smiths on-line.  Just starting to build
a studio and want to share infor and ask questions--like everyone else I
guess.  I have a good background in metal-casting (foundry).  Have built
aluminum, bronze and iron casting furnaces.  Can run them.  Make molds
etc.  I realize its not smithing, but if anyone's interested, please
e-mail me. 
For now I'm interested in smithing.  Any suggestions for books, people to
contact, equipment sources would be apprectiated.
Thanks
