Good morning All ,
I am extremely interested in learning how to forge my own knives. I have zero experience in knife making but, am very good with my hands and situation solving. I live in Peekskill NY and am willing to travel and pay for lessons ( only after this Coronavirus situation is behind us) . Is anyone somewhat close to my area willing and able to teach me?

Good morning, GDT. I'd suggest doing a search for a local blacksmithing group and plan on spending the money and time to join and attend some of their events. You'll most likely meet those "local" folks who have forges/shops and are willing to have visitors.
 
I live in the Binghamton NY area, and while I wouldn't call myself an expert, I am happy to meet another smith and share what I know.
 
Thank you for the sound advice

You are in a serious area, New England School of Metalworks is close by i believe. They do classes and will seriously advance you, i'm looking at flying there and registering for some after this pandemic dies down.
