Thank y'all so much for all of the caring advice. Y'all answered me ASAP. I was very impressed :)
As for dd. I'm from Minnesota. So it'd be a long haul, but if I'm every in Maryland. I will definitely stop in :) Also, I will definitely check to see if there are any guilds near by. I'm going to assume so, since I live in the Cities here.
So for all of the required tools, I can just pick them up cheap at walmart or should I shop online for cheaper and compare prices. I'm a College Student!! lol
Again, I am very thankful of all of your responses and will take all of your ideas and advice and surely start learning the craft!

Also, If anyone still wants to reply to the thread I greatly appreciate your passion! :)
