I ho;e enough businesses and people rally together and come to your aid. This business must continue. These skills are timeless. Good luck.

I hope all of you craftsmen and women wear ear plugs each day. As it states in the Old Testament wisdom books, that blacksmithing is hard on one's hearing. Thanks.

How can you buy your own 100 year old heritage blacksmithing equipment? He's looked after those incredible machines on his own dime for the past 17 years, buddy.

The maintenance Wrought Artworks conducts is absolutely nominal. In fact, the continual use of this "extremely valuable" equiptment in the day to day running of the workshop and consequent neglect, is of detriment to its conservation. ATP does not exist because of the operating workshop, and will thrive AFTER you have left.

This issue of 'rent-free' that the ATP and RWA have put up against Wrought Artwork is sick, because they PAY to look after all of that amazing old machinery. The ATP even squandered over 300 grand of the governments money which was meant to help restore this equipment too. Why don't they take Wrought Artworks rent out of that 300 grand which disappeared?

I think you are missing the point. There was an agreement Wrought Artworks made with the government almost two decades ago, which outlines that they could run their business rent free if they took care of the extremely valuable HERITAGE blacksmithing equipment, making sure it didn't fall apart! WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN DOING EVER SINCE!

Glorified squatters. Dont pretend you've been hard done by. Free rent of premises and use of equiptment for over a decade... thats right FREE RENT FOR A DECADE !!! Just looking after your own interests. Shame on you Guido, and your manipulation of the media.

Good comment Daemonyates. It would be there perfect space to incorporate the Blacksmithing course... in fact, they ULTIMO TAFE course already has full access to the facilities at the Eveleigh Workshop. My mother studied blacksmithing at the Ultimo campus for three years and was able to use the workshop and the equipment with the assistance of Wrought Artworks. Most of the apprentices working there have all studied at the campus and are offered positions every year to keep working there.
