Within a couple of months, I sold my first pot rack and commissions have been nonstop ever since. I watched, I practiced and I worked at it every spare minute I had. I bought hundreds of books and met with several older guys to pick their brains incessantly.
This was before there was YouTube, so I read everything and anything related to blacksmithing that I could get my hands on. I was able to take blacksmithing classes in Vista and volunteered at the Old Town blacksmith shop. With my new found welding skills (and I’m using the term “skills” rather loosely), I welded up a propane-powered forge from plans found on the internet and purchased an old 146 lb Peter Wright anvil off eBay.

Immediately after that, I bought a small welder at a yard sale and taught myself how to weld.
It was in that instant, like a bolt of electricity, I just knew blacksmithing was what I was supposed to be doing. It all started when I saw someone doing architectural hot work on a KPBS TV program. Liz first served as a full-time social worker in the Caldwell and Fruitland offices. Liz is a Fruitland High graduate, who earned her Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in social work from Boise State University.
We are excited to have so many of our industry partners as featured presenters this semester and. Liz Sansom, LMSW, is the Director of Medical Social Services Education Department and has been with Heart ‘n Home since 2012. It was about twenty years ago, and I remember the exact moment. The Inspire ME seminar series is geared to providing students in the Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering program (as well as others) access to information and advice from leaders in industry, research, academics and beyond. When did you realize you wanted to be a blacksmith? And how did you learn your craft?
