I have been at it about 12 years. One bit of advice, Is forge and make what you love making to start. Focus on a certain blade design until you get it down. Keep it simple. Make sure you work on a good hardening and tempering technique. Almost every maker has there own way of doing this, or own little technique they have developed. Hope this helps.

I didnt buy anything, nothing that fit my price range was particularly interesting, but it was an awesome experience.
