Chris,

First, thank you for responding.  I am sorry I did not give enough
information.  What I am interested in is ancient history smithing.  I
would like to learn the ways that things were made as far back as you can
go in recorded history. The biggest thing I want to learn is how they
made things without power tools.   I have many books that I have read and
I am always looking for more.  I know I need to find a local group.  It
is a new concept that I have yet to learn that someone out there just
might be willing to teach me something or show me something since every
thing else I have tried I have received little to no help.  The main
reason I was saying formal education  was because my current employment
situation is bleak and I was going for student loans. 

So there you have it.  Oh, also if you might have information on a local
group.  I am located in Pueblo, Colorado.  I would also be interested in
an apprenticeship any ware, all I need is a place to sleep and at least 2
meals a day. 

Thank you

Aaron

PS That school looks neat.  I will have to read more about it.
