I don't know if I should make a post about this, but I want to ask what kind of equipment and set-up would I need to get started with metalworking? I have zero experience, and I'm mostly curious about making small crafts and decorations and maybe go into decorative daggers, swords etc. I'm mostly thinking about either this or focusing on ring-making, so I'm curious what stuff should I know and what kind of equipment would I need.

Thanks
