Moneypenny’s Blacksmiths Workshop

Hello everyone,
I remember seeing some people asking about places to make friends and hang out a little while ago, so I decided to make a post about my favourite spot (normally I just lurk while I'm skiving at work).

I'm not a very social person at all—I'm usually fine just sitting at home in front of my PC—but I realised that’s really not healthy, so I decided to do something about it. The problem is, I fucking hate football and I’m not much of a drinker, so that rules out most of the entertainment options in NI right away.

But, on a recommendation from one of my co-workers, I decided to give smithing a go—and I’ve got to say, it was a great choice for me. I’ve been having an absolute blast, and everyone at the forge is great craic.

If anyone’s interested in that sort of thing, I’m sure you'd be welcomed at the forge. I’ve attached some pics of what I’ve made so far. The rose is the first thing I’m honestly proud of (also included a picture of the forge itself—really like the location).

For those that want to go: it’s £35 for a day, and goes down to £20 after about six lessons.(this includes materials/equipment and lessson from the smith)

i normally go on saturdays due to work but i know the smithy is open on some days durning the week.

I’ve also recently started leatherworking, and I want to try woodworking too, thanks to the skills I’ve been picking up. So if anyone knows any leatherworking or woodworking workshops with similar vibes, let me know—I’d be keen to try them out.
