I may be mistaken but this ad sounds familiar. I would humbly suggest carefully reading the job posting before applying, as it sounds like it is a part-time "tool-crib" guy that runs back and forth to the college to clean-up and maintain tools and work area. It does not sound like you will actually be doing any blacksmithing or teaching. If it was a desirable job, they would just hire one of their graduates.
