Maker's bio

I discovered blacksmithing a little later in life and trained at the National School of Blacksmithing in Hereford. Before this, blacksmithing and metalwork was a hobby. I’m now a maker of things, one-of-a-kind builds and love crazy ideas. Over the last few years I’ve been lucky enough to work on a lot of amazing projects including castles, film props, sculptures, and one off unique art pieces. If it needs to be historically accurate or just a repair to your favourite old thing, I’m more than happy to help,

Chris Berry reviewed: Beginner welding

"Really useful course. Richard explains in simple terms and shows you every aspect. From stick welding, MIG and SIP. Then he throws you into it, which isn't as easy as he makes it look. He explained what I did wrong and by the end I was welding (MIG) reasonable confidently. Thanks."

George Rankin reviewed: Axe making

"Rich was a pleasant and respectful tutor who kindly guided us through the process. Besides some hiccups with the forge itself (which were quickly resolved in the timeframe), my Dad and I had a great time and walked away with two personally made axes."
