I have looked in on here from time to time ( more often when BB is down:)) have decided to join and participate. I post as nic on BB and recognise quite a few from there.

I am a blacksmith, nost of my work is ornamental, but always hadforged,. I have been moving into toolmaking/ knives more recently. Live out in the country in Mid Wales, we have a smallholding that along with an expanding familly seems to take up most of my free time, when I had the time I used to fish, camp and shoot airguns; hunting and competition.
I have loose connections with Mike Jarmian of Cambrian Survival in Aberystwyth- some of his longer courses will include a couple of days toolmaking in my workshop.

I look forward to getting involved in this forum,

Nic

Oh, I tend to misspell a lot and edit them out after posting, but can't work out how to do it on this forum- or is that something that will come later?

Hello and welcome!
Cambrian used some of my photos of a course ( which Greg and I both attended and he has stuck like a tick to me ever since) that I used to do a profile of the set up for one of the mags I write for....

Hi Nic - Welcome. You sound to have a great setup where you are. I know from experience about the expanding family and the reduction in getting out but taking them with you is half of the fun (allegedly!)

Thanks for the warm welcome- I don't seem to be able to do much yet but I'll post some pictures of my work as soon as I can.
Passed on messages to Mike, via his answer phone, I can only assume he is outside taking advantage of the sun.

Richie- Hi! Are Pm's disabled too? I've sent a few but nobodies replying!
