Davster Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hi, I am planning to leave the UK and go to Australia at the end of October and i'd really like to gain more Blacksmithing experience while I'm there. I ahve been working alongside Blacksmiths in the UK for the last two years and have also taught some sessions. Does anyone know of any smiths that do paid apprenticeships in Auz or that may let me assist them in return for somewhere to stay? Any advice is welcome. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forgemaster Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 See if you can get hold of Dale he has a lot of contacts in Melb, if you head towards Newcastle way give us a yell, we may have something for you. To the south of Sydney Moonie may make you welcome, although he's a little hard to get on with sometimes. Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
