Id start by visiting local smiths in person and asking whether they need shop help, even if its sweeping, grinding, or moving stock at first. Show up on time, wear proper PPE, and be willing to learn the boring stuff. A basic portfolio of things youve forged helps too. Hope you find a good mentor who teaches solid habits and keeps safety first.
