Hello, my name is Cameron.

My apologies if this post is not in the correct location.

I would like to learn blacksmithing and hope to offer my services as an apprentice in a shop under a skilled blacksmith. 

Unfortunately, I have limited funds and cannot afford to pay for classes, so I am hoping to either exchange my existing skills (autocad, computer science, graphic design - to name a few) or help around a shop as an apprentice as payment for learning (I also have some experience in a machine shop [mostly grinding and minor lathe work). My interests are weapons, armor and tools for medieval events and societies, but any form of training is appreciated.

If anyone is open to this request, please feel free respond to this posting or email me at cameron.andress@hotmail.com
