[TheForge] Newbie

Good morning all, 

I hope I'm using this page correctly. My name is Zach and I'm taking my first steps on my journey to become a blacksmith (on the side). I will be building my first forge within the next week or so, and I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on where I can pick up some beginners tools and equipment on the cheap. General advice is always appreciated as well. I live in the general Baltimore County area and would like to become an apprentice if there is a willing master. Thanks everyone.

Zach
