Workshop in the centre of Glasgow. I run courses in forging and other historical techniques and facilitate different craft art. [[email protected]]

Another picture of a cuttlefish cast - this one was only a tryout but produced a super rare, perfectly burned out carving.

Had a blast at the highland casting workshop this weekend. We carved designs in cattle fish and cast them in copper and aluminium- fantastic

@Young_Nats22 Thank you! Well done on this awesome piece- this was great fun to teach.

There's no failure in blacksmithing, only art: I present "sad lumiere".

One of the personal projects from the Beginners Course is nearing completion. A beautiful pint glass holder!

This week I am making axes: This is a folded hatchet made with 100 year old wrought iron forge welded to a modern tool steel insert.

I was working on a new passion project this week: My first ever sword. More pictures to come soon.

A throwback today to my very first chef's knife. Amazing how many designs and ideas I have seen and realised since. #blacksmith #smithing

Im learning to make instruments too: Made this resonator cone out of hammered copper for a cigar box ukulele a few months ago, sounds great.

Danilo completed his beginners course with this amazing book stand. It even has hands to hold the book open at just the right page- Welldone

Thanks to @Teutatis101 I can show you what our new forge looks like! Thanks to the Blacksmithing Club for putting it together!

Back from Glastonbury with a heavy flue and loads and loads of inspiration. New courses are in the making.

Not bad for something forged in a campfire. #Glastonbury2017 #campfire #forging

[Tom Coady @SmithInScotland]

Built a camping forge out of our campfire and left over camping gear, let's see what we can do with it. #Glastonbury2017 #recycleandreuse

Relishing the use of "the apparatus" that my friend Christoph made at the forge @GlastoFest #Glastonbury2017 #smithing
