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,

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."

"Thanks to Richard for delivering an excellent beginners course in welding. I had such a fantastic time, learnt a lot and looking to improve my skills from here. Richard explained the theory and demostrated the practical side very clearly giving space for a lot of time to practice yourself. I thoroughly recommend this course."
