I want to learn the art of knifemaking. I live in CT and was wondering if there are any smiths that would consider taking an apprentice? I have reserched ABS and would love to go to their school but don't have the money or time to go to texas. I need something closer to home. I have loved anything with an edge since I was young. I have many designs of diferent knifes but I don't have the know how or tools to bring them to life. I think i have potential because I am good with tools and have unique designs. thanks

Like George said, hook up with a group. Also, check Tim Lively's site here:

He's got tutorials on there that show you how to set up a forge on the cheap. There's also a good number of Massachusetts guys who hang out on there. Drop on by and tell them that "The Other Tim" sent you.
