Railing restoration

Again, I seem to have abandoned this blog as I have been a busy bee, for that I apologise!

This last month I have been able to sell some work through galleries. May I just say a huge thank you to anyone who has bought my work / shown an interest! It really does mean the world!

I have also been restoring an old water pump on the farm which is by a veggie patch! It's such a shame it hasn't been used in over 40 years! :(

I have also got work on to restore an old cattle grid at Somerford Hall, a beautiful venue suitable for weddings & celebrations! http://www.somerfordhall.co.uk/

I have decided to save craft shows till next year and unfortunately I had to turn down the Ludlow Fringe market, but I will be there next year!

I have many plans for the rest of the year, so watch this space!

I would like to say thank you to...

All you guys! I have reached my 3000 page views! With 26 of them being yesterday. Thank you for all your support.

Yesterday, I picked up my most favourite possession to date, my anvil with Steeve Cooper, a former blacksmith and a lovely chap who has helped me out in the last few weeks. (Massive thank you)
He informed me that my anvil was around the 100 year old mark and was hand forged, not cast! I was amazed that something that heavy (Around 250 kilos) was hand forged!
Some work needs doing on the face but it will be as good as new in about a week or so!

I also visited Hereford Galvanizers.

I have had this for a while but have only started using it, so it any of you have it let's get connected! Bare with me, i'm still a newbie!

ANOTHER Ebay buy.

I think it is time for my addiction to stop maybe?? But again, it was a bargain price that I could not refuse! And it's in Hereford, so it gives me a good excuse to visit the Barrels!

The model is an Alldays & Onion Ltd Makers. 

Birmingham & London. 

Productive few weeks!

Where do I begin? So, I managed to get some gallery work in Lichfield as it was stated somewhere in a previous blog. Just as I was making all my work, my plasma cutter decided to pop its cloggs! Not ideal! All is good now though and a few days later I was back, making away. So on Monday, I am delivering all my work to the gallery.
This week, I have been down in London, where I fell in love with the place. (I was never a fan before). I had an interview with a company called Nisbett and George. I was chuffed when they offered me an interview slot! It appears that New Designers was a good idea after all! So I was glad to take their offer in promoting my work!
Whilst being down south, I visited The Light Show at the Hayward Gallery. WOW! JUST WOW! If you ever get the chance, do so! But hurry as it ends on the 6th of May.
