If I wanted to learn Blacksmithing, where do I start?

I spent a day at Fransham Forge in Norfolk earlier in the year. Managed to get the basics and make a poker, burger flipper, leaf necklace and a dish. The bloke that runs it is a real character ( ) and has shepherds huts on site as accommodation.

Have a look at Alec Steele's youtube page, he is a 19 year old Blacksmith who does courses in Norwich.

Much too shouty for me. I've been watching him with the sound off for quite a while.
