Very cool stuff!  A great learning environment! You can benefit so much watching an experienced bladesmith forge, the deliberate and efficient hammer blows, facinating!

While attending an ABS "Intro" Course I stayed in the shop over lunch break one day and watched MS Greg Neely forge with out interupting him with questions, and I learned so much in 25-30 min.

I must go to a Hammer-in!

Great you could attend.
