Our Forums
The longest running metalworking forums on the Internet.
Why multiple forums? Each forum has a different purpose and have filled them well. It seems that different people have different preferences. Some folks are not comfortable posting in a chat, others are looking for varied opinions and prefer not to ask “the guru”. Then there are those looking for factual answers without a wait, and we provide those on the guru’s page.
The Guru's Den:
Ask a metalworking question and he or one of his helpers will answer. If he can’t answer your metalworking question he will look it up or find someone else that knows the answer! Are you new to blacksmithing? The Guru loves to help you get started! Please read this before asking the Guru questions and Getting Started if you need to know where to start.
