OT: Metalworking/Forging

I've recently become interested in metalworking, specifically forging. However because it is a relatively obscure hobby that requires some equipment, I have not been able to find many resources (granted I haven't looked terribly hard.)

Seeing the threads for fishing, smoking meat, and brewing made me think "Why not ask TKP?" I am looking for resources that any of you have used or know in this realm as well as any places you know of where somebody could go and learn this skill. I am from Winston Salem, NC and while there are some makers spaces around here none of them, as far as I know, offer anything in this category.

If anyone can provide info on how to start getting into it, where to start looking for basic equipment, etc... that would be great. Not sure how many people have any experience in this but I figured it was worth a shot!

His decision was made after a phone call with longtime Virginia Tech assistant coach Bud Foster. All Foster told him was, "We win. They don't."
