Not really a deal as such but I recently did a bunch of testing on 1mm angle grinder cutting discs for the blacksmithing community. The best discs for longevity vs price are Bluespot Stainless cutting discs. These out performed all other brands including Cubitron 2.

GYS alien true colour is a good option. I have been using an air fed speedglas helmet for a few years and it’s a fantastic bit of kit. Probably more than you’d need though. cheers

Nice to see I’m not the only one playing the game of “Who dies with the most tools wins” My most recent addition is a little Tig welder. Bought it for a specific job which never materialised but never mind. It should be handy to have once I figure out how to use it. Cheers Andy

Hi all, I'm a blacksmith based in Glasgow. I've outgrown my current workshop space and I'm looking to move. Ideally this would be in the Glasgow area but I'm happy to travel for the right space within reason. The space needs to be dry, secure, have power and access to water and ideally a...

Haha. I hope so. With any luck people will want some nice forged ones too. Andy

I sure am. Somewhere in the Glasgow area or within reasonable driving distance of Pollockshaws. Cheers Andy

Thanks bud. Every cloud has a silver lining. :) All the best Andy

Hello everyone. A lot has changed in the last 6 months or so. I found somewhere to rent! :) And I've been working on commissions such as this security grill for a window. But life has rather thrown me a curve ball as my wife has just accepted a job up in Glasgow, so I'm going to have...
