It is with sadness, that due to ill health, "The Blacksmith Shop" will close for business following the final workshop on 22nd October 2023. All workshops till then are fully booked. I thank all my workshop participants over the years, and I must tell you that I have had a very good time with it. Thank you all. :)

Meet some of the fantastic people who did blacksmithing workshops as part of the "Straddie Arts Trail". Workshops each day and lots and lots of happy trainee blacksmiths. Check out my website at https://the-blacksmith-shop.square.site/

I love doing workshops with beautiful people like these, and even better when one of the participants is a boilermaker and already knows how to handle a hammer. Just goes to show that my workshops are for everyone, from total novice to skilled tradesperson.

Check out all my workshops at https://the-blacksmith-shop.square.site/

Don't forget about The Straddie Arts Trail (August 11th to 14th) where over forty Straddie Artists and Makers open up their workshops and galleries for the public. More at https://iamstraddie.com.au/ Too much to see in a day, so make it a weekend on "Straddie" (Minjerribah, Nth Stradbroke Island).

There are no limitations, and everyone can do anything you can conceive. Just did another Basic Knifemaking workshop with these lovely young boys and girls, who made themselves traditional Viking (Troll) Knives.

I love my job and love working with people like these at The Blacksmith Shop.

We did a great workshop in Basic Blacksmithing for a pair of novices, who made themselves some lovely traditional Viking Knives. I had a lot of fun and I hope they did as well.

Made a pair of gates for the top of some front stairs. The outer is 5/8" square black bar and the rest is 1/2" square black bar. A bit tricky to make the hinges because the post and the wall are not square or parallel and so each hinge had to be made a different size. Simple catch and shoot-bolt to make it easy to open. I think they are okay.

I made some "Viking Knifes" yesterday and I think they turned out pretty good. These are the type of knife we make in our Basic Knifemaking Workshop - https://the-blacksmith-shop.square.site/?item=49 at "The Blacksmith Shop. Each one is a bit different and that is the beauty of hand-forged goods, the blacksmith can make it anyway they want. I personally like the curved one.

The path to "The Blacksmith Shop" in Shepherd Lane, Dunwich. Do you think the trees are getting a bit close?

A couple of weeks ago I made a pair of sign frames for the new Wine and Fromage Bar in Dunwich called "St Stradbroke". Andy liked them so much that he commissioned me to make a set of ten shelf brackets in the same style. I am happy with how they turned out.
