| Arbalist:
We made three things on the course I did, Rat tail Poker, a Wall bracket for a hanging basket and a Rams head toasting fork. |
| Brass_Machine:
Her class wasn't bad. They were firing up the forge within the 1st hour. Unfortunately it was only one day... but she will be going back to take more classes. It is hard to see in the pictures, but those pieces are really well done. Hard to believe she never picked up a hammer before... |

As she's so good with the hammer I would give her great respect! In Ireland I am still looking for a course! Even thought about "apprenticing" myself to a local smith (who mainly does gates and the like) for free!. My grandad was a farrier before the great war in rural Hereford. Then came WWI so he joined the Royal Engineers. Then came the post war recession but he eventaully got a job as a smith with the LMS maintenance depot in Abergavenny in S. Wales (NOT GWR !!). He worked for the LMS for 40 years! Ended up as a foreman building bridges over the roads (Hot rivetting). He taugt me all the basics of metal working in his shed! I remember him taking me in to work one day in the very early 60's - the wheel sets were about twice the height of me and the big forge was awesome! Its amazing how one thread can take you on a voyage back in time! |
