Hi all.
Well, we've finally arived in Australia.
On the Gold Coast for now, but may move depending on what happens work - wise.
I'm really keen to get moving with blacksmithing, having started to learn in the U.K. To this end I have e-mailed the ABA of NSW, and am hoping to attend the demo day at the Hot Iron Muster. I'd love to attend the whole week, but finances preclude that.
Still, I hope to meet some of you there.
And carrying on from that, is anyone here willing to let me work / volunteer for them on occasion in order to further my kowledge & skills?
For what it may be worth, I have various qualifications in engineering, work in refrigeration / air conditioning, and have done blacksmith courses in the U.K. with Bob Oakes, Peat Oberon & Owen Bush. I have also done some bladesmithing & have a reasonable understanding of pattern welding.
All the best
Matt
