Do forgive me if I've posted the wrong thing in the wrong place but I'm a bit of a newbie and this is my first 'new thread' posting.
Just wanted to let you know about a bushcraft knife-making course. The first one is today and I was due to go on on it but unfortunately was up all night so not in a fit state to be working with sharp things.
They would like to run more such courses in the future but getting interested students isn't always easy so, to make up for not being there today, I thought I'd see if any of you would be interested.
I'll give the link to the course and an email for Andy who runs Potters Barn, the venue, for you to contact him to express your interest (if you are interested). He'll then be able to email you when the next course is planned for. Obviously if lots of folk express interest then they'll arrange an earlier course.
They also do longbow and arrow making courses. I attended those and they were great (will be bringing my bow to the Delamere meet next weeken). The classes are small and friendly. The price is high but includes a fantastic pub lunch and good tuition. It's a great venue, a small pottery, with a warm and relaxed atmosphere in East Cheshire - very close to the M6. Good B&Bs in the area I believe if you had to come from far or you could find out from Goose where you can sling your hammock in Delamere which is about half an hour away.
The course details are - http://www.thepottersbarn.f2s.com/Blacksmith.htm
and Andy's email is - a.pollard@thepottersbarn.co.uk
Please mention that you heard about it from Lightfoot. No I'm not on commission. Just want to know how many are actually interested. Expect to be at the next one myself (as long as I'm not up all night again!).
