haha no worries m8....Very cool! Good advice...When I was living back at the parents place I spent a year taking welding courses just to start off...I'd love to get into black smithing eventually..dont have the time or space right now (small house with 3 other housemates). I will definitely have to look into the area...Winchester, VA is definitely not the DC metro area so things are a bit more limited in offerings out here...
