Workshop / Barn Wanted to Rent by Blacksmith (South West)

[MikeGracia]

Hi All,

I hope it's okay to post this here - feel free to delete if not of course!

I'm looking for a high-access door barn to rent in the South West to run a small forge for blacksmithing.

The reason I need a high-access door ideally, is because I'd also like to use the space to convert a 7.5t horsebox (Merc 814) into a mobile forge (converting horse area into a mobile forge, front keeping as living - For travelling to country shows etc to do Blacksmithing demos).

I trained as a Blacksmith many years ago in Hereford and after some time away from the craft, am back smithing again. I have a gas forge and an old medieval-style coke forge that's mainly used at demos etc, as well as 200a mig, stick, and oxy welding equipment and I'm usually up for helping out if bits & pieces are needed on the farm, in addition to paying rent for the space of course.

Ideal space is anywhere around Bristol, surrounding area - So from the other side of Bath across to Newport over the bridge is fine - and same distance north or south of Bristol (so South Gloucestershire down past Bristol to Weston-S-M way for example.

Basically am happy to travel for the right space, happy to pay rent (of course), and usually up for chipping in when a hand is needed (bits of welding etc).

Again - sorry if this is not the right place to ask, and cheers for your time reading this.

Mike.

Cardiff too far out for you I’m guessing?

Thanks for the reply!

It is a little further than I was looking to travel, but if there's nothing closer that comes up, it may be okay - Do you have something available? (don't want to mess you around though, as ideally looking for something a bit closer to Bristol, but still...)

Thanks again for your reply
