Thanks. its a shame it was never finished to how i wanted. but pleased it was taken to the show anyway. I'd love to learn techniques to make diffrent sorts o leaves and flowers eventually, i dnt kno if u do courses like that at exeter or elsewher in the south. its missib26@hotmail.co.uk if its easier to contact that way. thankyou again. spk sn

Firstly thankyou for all your replies. Secondly, why on earth didnt I think of contacting you earlier JohnB , seeing as (not sure if you'd remember) but I did come to you for some help over a year ago to help me pass my forging exam. And mighten I add that you are why i am here now, not as a farrier but as a hopeful artistic blacksmith!! woo! Something I did forget to add is that my forge is bottom blast, designed and built by an engineer friend with a few free pointers i recieved from Mr Simon Grant Jones. We were using North over coke or something like that at college but thought I should browse the market before hand. If I wasnt away in yorkshire indeed I would have come to the gathering. Hope to get the forges first light when I get bak and will be most likely poppin upto exeter for courses etc. Thanks again, anymor queries i'm sure I'l pop em on here. A. Bithrey aka Frisky Filly

I'm a young female blacksmith building a business at the moment. Have had a workshop built, forge made, bought anvils and excessories and its ready to go. But now i'm on the search for fuel. Whilst at college I used Coke. But now i'm out on my own I'd thought i'd have a look around, and have come across, WELSH BEAN, ANTHRACITE and COKE. the 1st two bein between
