I've actually been doing some digging and trying to find a blacksmith who would take an apprentice but I haven't been able to find any yet.
How about a gentlemans bet?
I bet I can make Gimli's axe before you can make Anduril.

Good luck on that one mate, I would be surprised if you could even find an apprenticeship in welding these days. On the other hand, and strangely enough, welding is a pretty lucrative field with plenty of job opportunity. If you really feel like being the man of steel, with job opportunity to boot, underwater welding and salvage, pretty much always has openings; not many apprenticeships, as you would need both tank diving experience, and a large amount of welding experience as well.
If you are in the Bay Area, which I am pretty sure you are not, there is an art collective (not sure I would really call it that anymore, but anyway) called The Crucible, and they offer all sorts of classes in a bunch of different stuff.
Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.
Some jocks thought it would be the height of comedy to punch me and then push me in front of a moving lorry, then go off laughing about it. Fortunenaetly, I managed to kind off roll under it, and got out of there alive.
Met them later, and suffice to say they were quite surprised to see me still standing. And yes, I did go Wulfen on them .

Gentlemen? This is Dakka my friend.
I could just buy Anduril and Hadhafang, but then they won't be awesome enough to fight my friends/Zombies with...

I diddn't wish to offend anyone who likes to think of themselves a gentlmen.
Besides, making your own would be about a thousand times more awesome, and the increible sense of pride when it cleaves a zombies head from it's shoulders.
There is that, but I am limited by my own Hamhandedness and total inexperience in Smithing.

WIN! I remember teaching Zelda to wield a sword. We were in the toy isle at Walgreen's, and had some fun with some foam swords.
It was all over for me when she grabbed a second and duel-wielded...
