Title: New England School of Metalwork
Post by: Thadbow on November 21, 2013, 05:24:00 PM
Today I signed up for a basic bladesmithing class at the school in the month of January taught by Nick Rossi .  I am very excited to say the least about forging my first blade!  
  Is there anybody here that has taken any classes at the school?  
Thanks,
Thaddeus

Thaddeus,
I've been meaning to run up there as I have a cottage near the school.  But I have taken a number of courses from Haywood College, SC that uses the same instructors.  You will love it.  In fact our own Lin Rhea has taught up there.  Have fun...tippit

Thaddeus, This is great!  

It's going to open up a new world to you. I know you wont be sorry. Nick is a good teacher. Take notes and a camera.

Oh...we expect pictures!   :)

I wish there was something like this over my way.

Thanks guys, I am really looking forward to this new adventure but at the same time I am very nervous!  I read about all the classes they offer and I think this one suits me the best as a beginner .  I just really need to read up on the terms used in forging and heat treating so I am not lost when I get there.  
  Lin,  I will defiantly take a bunch of photos and notes to share!
Thanks,
Thaddeus
