If you ever do decide to try forging anything and get confused about anything, feel free to ask me, i may just be able to help. I believe i have a solid foundation of knowledge in basic and intermediate blacksmithing. That's one thing i wished i had a while back, but i didn't have anyone to ask, but after a lot of listening, watching and some reading, i started to understand the concepts of forging and heat treating carbon steel, and building and using forges along with using anvils and hammers to shape metal, Its very enjoyable in my opinion.
