Forging a large Singlet at The Claymills Victorian Pumping Station on the steam powered Massey hammer.

Great work by everyone today, a successful round of knives and spikes made by the guys. Then demolished feast of cheese, pickles and bread. Not forgetting the cake too!

My Forge and Feast workshops are a session for up to four people and normally take between 3-4 hours.
In this session we set out to make our own knife and forks and end the session by eating a ploughman's lunch together using what we made that day.
The Forge and Feast is £60 per person which includes food and drink.
... This session currently has space, please get in touch if you would like to come.

I get a lot of enquiries about children's lessons and really appreciate the opportunity to encourage the next generation of Blacksmiths. However, its quite challenging for a lot of young people due to the strength required to use the tools, but I am always happy to talk with you about the possibility and when it is feasible, as the photos below show at a family session its really great fun.

Really like the texture on this Octo Hook, I got it a little warm whilst I was making it but it's turned out a beauty. It'll be at Totally Locally Leek tomorrow if you want to have a look.

Here's a picture of that recent fireplace set in their new home. #fireplace #logburner #poker #brush #shovel #companionset

Introducing my new kitchen axe, made from stainless steel with a knock out handle for easy cleaning. I also turned a small dish to help with cutting herbs easily. #handforged #kitchen #axe #chopper

Introducing my flat pack forge, I designed this to give me an easy to transport portable forge for demonstrations and work in place. This has evolved into a start up kit for people wanting to forge at home, if you are interested please get in touch.

A lovely day forging at Claymills pumping station

Here is a custom order from the end of last year for two large copper honey bees on a free standing steel honeycomb. Really happy with how they came out.

Had a great time at one of my most recent Forge and Feasts. Very successfully tackled a wonderful selection of cheese and pickles at the end of the session. Get in touch if you'd like to know more.
