Hi

I’ve just joined the site and would like to briefly introduce myself to everyone. I have just completed a one day course in Devon England at Westpoint forge on an introduction to blacksmithing run by John Bellamy. This was a great Birthday present from my GF. I have been pontificating for years about Blacksmithing after failing, on a toss of a coin, to gain an apprenticeship when I left school many many years ago, and deep down I have always felt I missed something in my life as a consequence. Over the years all of life’s responsibilities have given me the excuses I need not to re-ignite this dim flame: children, paying the large mortgage etc etc etc. I now find myself one of those redundant individuals applying for mundane jobs and I have thought sod this, this is what I have always wanted to do, give it another go. So I am here today to enquire if there are any individuals who can guide me, pass on there experiences or who would offer to teach or just have me sit and watch. I have enrolled on John’s tool making course in May and have some other limited funds with which to pursue this dream. Thank you for reading

David
