I started out with nothing but wanted to make a business out of my craft so I have gradually built up all the tools I need.  I create bespoke, one-off pieces of ironwork. In the beginning it was difficult to get the right amount of work – there was either too much or not enough.  Now I can pick and choose.

Do what you enjoy – and appreciate the rewards you get

It was a step into the unknown but I’ve learned how to build a good customer base, and when to walk away.
