    I thought I'd give this a quick bump and see if we had any dates fixed, or suggested for the event. Is everyone still keen to have a go? Re days, I'm up for a weekend 2 day'er , but any day is fine with a bit of notice

    Hello Zarc You don't say how old you are, but as you are looking for an apprenticeship I imagine you're quit young still. You may find you are able to get yourself on a collage course or the Hereford course already mentioned, either way good luck with it. I'm trying to find some work in the forge myself at the moment and know how hard it is, but with some determination and a good dollop of luck good things may happen. Steve.

    Many thanks for the info guys, I'm glad I didn't order both together now I'm surprised the publisher didn't send her a copy, but I'll see what I can do. thanks again chaps!

    Hiya Glenn, I read the thread a little while ago and everyone seems to recommend "The Backyard Blacksmith" but, and I probably didn't make it quite clear, what I need to know is, is "The Complete Blacksmith" the same book under a different title? Is it significantly different to the first book to make it worth getting in its own right or is it basically the same thing? :)

    Chaps, I have been thinking of picking up a book or two on the gentle art of iron walloping and have heard good things about a book by this lady called "The Backyard Blacksmith" I have also seen a book by the same lady called "The complete Blacksmith" but can't find much info on it. Is it much the same book? is it worth getting alongside the "Backyard" book or instead of it? anyone have both? All info gratefully received...

    If no one has already mention it, try your library service for a few good books on the subject it only costs about .50p to order a book from your own area and they have most of the basic information you will need to get going. Remember to search for other key words like wrought iron, and forge not just blacksmith.

    Hello matey I'm just in the process of looking into that course myself at PCAD are you doing the full time course or the part time one? I wouldn't mind having a chat with you about the course and collage one day if you have the time I'll PM you my number if that's OK. Steve.
