@@ianlowe4666 Not from Timbertown mate, met you first in London at the city farm then again at Braidwood when you were on your world trip with your mate from West London (forgotten his name) ex teacher. You were unwell at the time. I turned up with Dale Russell to help Glenn out a bit. Managed to help with those sheep heads under challenging circumstances :). What are you doing currently? I'll be over there again in a couple of years.
@@andyjagger4364 Dale (aka Uncle Chopper) is a legend, really great bloke. He saved my first trip out there. Yeah, the illness thing didn't get any better Andy sadly and I'm permanently disabled now. So I started a Community Interest Company as a hobby with a couple of folks to keep myself sane, and put all the tools to use. The company teaches Blacksmithing and works with special interest/needs groups from our own forge. We even do the odd commission and such but we're basically a not for profit. It's a small crew but they're all top notch and love the craft.
@@ianlowe4666 Sorry to hear it mate, glad you haven't given up. If its ok I'd like to visit next time I'm over there if you are willing to give me contact details. It will probably be in the next two years. meanwhile be as well as possible. My email is: andyjagger1@hotmail.com
