Afternoon all - 

 

I have been wondering more and more if I might be able to send myself on some type of journeyman "course"  - i.e. spend a little bit of time here and there with a few smiths around the country. 

 

I've contacted a couple of smiths already and had good feedback. 

 

 

Any other smiths out there fancy having an extra pair of hands for a couple of days? 

 

I work offshore and as such my time at home is sporadic and intermittent - as such I'd need to arrange it for some time next year. 

 

I don't expect to be thrown in at the deep end - I'd be quite happy just being shop boy/ sweep/ heavy lifter for a couple of days. 

 

Please send me a pm if you can help/ point me in the right direction. 

 

Regards 

Andy

I would keep calling shops, that way you can plan your route better and it shows more interest.

I wish you the best of luck for your tour, take some pictures and post a travel log :) 

Thanks KRS, I shall. I've had a couple of positive replies and a few offers over on the BABA Facebook page. I was just surprised at the lack of response on here...

 

All the best

Andy, with a few notable exceptions I have found that UK smiths are not nearly as hospitable as those from the new world, that said it might be a 'long drive' for you but smiths are always welcome here!

Andy more than welcome to come and visit my very little shop in Dorset, can't provide anywhere to stay and you might well be teaching me stuff :) but the offer is there!
