Does anyone need a blacksmith or think they might need blacksmith or low quantity machineing work in the future. (If i were to set up my own forge)

I am a blacksmith with expetience of 2.5 years of everyday forgeing and infrequent forgeing before that.

I am also capable of general machineing (lathe and drilling )
Mig and tig welding
Bronze casting

And also if required i check all the drawings prior to construction at my cuttent job for spotting errors or things to optimise and could do so for you aswell.

I am looking for

Lgbt+ autism inclusive traditional blacksmiths

Lower amount of modern techniques (more historical) and higher quality products are prefered

In uk or europe paying at minimum 10% more than minimum wage

Or

Tell me if you have any Blacksmith Jobs to complete myself in the UK for me to check how feasable my own forge would be

(I will likely not be capable of joining a new forge for about a year (and also dont expect many responses)
This is mainly to try and see if i have any good options here

Aditionaly these images posted do not include those whitch are on my current works website and therfore dont have some of my gates

Please be aware of this if you wish to hire me or are in need of services

The farm equipment recycler didn't want our disc harrow discs, but this seems like the perfect thing to build from them instead:

They're already in that flower shape with a center hole and pipe attached to it.

Putting it somewhere near the end of the overwhelming todo list!

#PhotoOfTheDay One of my railroad spike bottle openers in progress, with a twisted cube pattern. This one is still one of two bottle openers that I kept and still use regularly. Most others were given away as gifts. I should go back to doing that.

Attached: 1 image I picked up a pair of #wakizashi blades years ago, and recently decided to just grab pieces from China to try and finish them. They arrived on April 1st, just before the tariffs hit (whew!). The #tsuba (cross-guard) is the only piece I made myself. I didn't want something plain so I tried doing a hammer texture yesterday. Pretty happy with how it fits with the damascus! That piece will be rust-blued to give a flat black color, then I just need to pin the handle.

🔨🤖 Oh look, it's 2025 and some computer science oracle is still trying to convince us that mashing metal and writing #Lisp are somehow related. 🚀 Apparently, #blacksmithing is all about reheating failed attempts, much like debugging Lisp. 🔥🔥

Preparing Kebab Barg requires a proper knife. So, let's forge one! This is going to be a mighty blade constructed from both high-carbon steel and wrought iron to give it an authentic feel. Enjoy.

Listen to the sounds of a modern blacksmith shop. Enjoy the visuals and the sonic atmosphere. It's hard to convey the vibe of a blacksmith shop and here is my attempt.
