There is...

alt.crafts.blacksmithing

Not a bad group, I breeze through it a few times a week.

Good Luck!

alt.crafts.blacksmithing comes and goes. I find far more info in the
Abana email list, TheForge:
http://www.abana.org/resources/education/theforge.shtml

You are not required to be a member of Abana, subscribing to TheForge is
free. Try it out. There is a bit of off topic discussion, but mainly
because people want to chat and don't have an on-topic to discuss. We've
been fortunate in not having any serious controversies interfering with
the interesting stuff for some time.

Get "theforge" in "digest" mode. Unless it has changed recently, it is
a list server, not a newsgroup. You probably don't want 25 emails a day.
Check out my website, www.spaco.org. It has some triphammer content
that may be helpful.

Try anvilfire.com

The websites of several of the ABANA affiliates have some good content,
so don't miss them when looking at ABANA links.

Also, although the group's name doesn't come to mind, there is an pretty
active blacksmithing group in Australia. I'd do a little web searching
to find them.

The sandbox at artmetal.com is good, too:

The best blacksmithing stuff on the internet is not newsgroups, but
forums-

(the guru's den and the hammer in)

then there are a couple of good email lists-

the forge- subscribe at:

and the yahoo blacksmiths group
