Hobbyist smith, although I did earn my keep for a while at a wrought iron works.
I too did the Cobb & Co course in Toowoomba (1993?), and since then use the skills mostly to make tools for myself. I use the the tools for metal and woodwork.
I teach workshop skills to sculpture students and although we have a forge I haven't fired that one for years.
I live on acreage near Cabarlah, on the range north of Toowoomba.
Cheers,
Makoz
