Hi everyone, I just made a membership at this forum even though I have been reading posts for a while and I thought I would introduce myself. My name is Arthur and I moved from Maryland to Oahu in August to go to UH. My favorite hobby back home was blacksmithing and I really miss it even though it hasn't even been 2 months yet, so if any one knows of a Hawaiian blacksmithing guild on Oahu I would love to know about it. I am looking forward to learning as much as I can from you guys and hopefully I can contribute something as well.

Aloha Arthur, howzit?
What are you studying at UH? I presume you are referring to UH Manoa. Do you reside on or close to campus? I live on the east ridge of Manoa Valley up St Louis Dr. I've got a bit of a smithy and shop being formed at my home and a couple of coke burning forges at the Waldorf High School. By all means, let's get together. Maybe you could help me get the last bit of concrete poured for my small forge area and we could get to pounding steel! What are you up to next weekend?
All the best, Phil
