G'day all. Good to see there are a lot of Ausies on this forum. My name is Barry, originally from Holland but for the last 3 years I've been living in Adelaide SA. Last week me and my wife did a course in blade smithing at the Tharwa village and as I suspected we liked the blacksmithing side of it, a lot, early next year we are definitely going back there to do the blacksmith course and the Damascus steel course. Mean while I almost have a working forge. I only have a bit of a problem finding a steel supplier and a Anvil of some sorts. My aim for the next 5 years or so is to have a nice little "part/full time" blacksmith workshop in the main street of some historical SA village making whatever and maybe give a workshop here and there. But first both me and my wife want to learn a lot most of it in the old fashion way of "Trial and error". cheers

How are you, Me and my wife are setting up a little blacksmith workshop and came along this forum. We are just back from a 2 day blade smith course in Canberra Aus. If I may say so my self we made 4 pretty good looking knifes So we are all excited and fired up to make some more. But first I have to gather all the tools, anvil and stuff which is not really easy.. cheers, Barry & Vanessa
