The wife and I both watched it on demand and we both enjoyed it and my wife has no interest black smithing at all so you could say that the editing was a great success to keep the ordinary tv audience intrested,
we both liked your work joel the best throughout the show as we have a modern taste in design.

Now I can't wait to get on my introduction to black smithing course in may!

Hello all

I have just joined the forum after booking myself onto a 3 day course in Exeter in the beginning of May,

I have no experience of smithing but recently have seen a few smithing demonstrations and have always wanted to have ago so found a course and went for it!!

I have no idea where this will lead me but with only 7 years left in the Armed forces until my time is done I need to find something to do when I leave and maybe this could be it or not? and just a great pastime

I am a Petty officer Seaman in the Royal navy and enjoy to make decorative rope work and splicing ropes and wire also a trained sailmaker have turned my hand from everything from awnings to washbags, Leatherwork is also all part of the job and I have made some knife handles and leather pouches.
