My Blacksmithing Hobby

Here is an example of my favourite hobby, blacksmithing. Nothing can beat spending a day on the forge and at the end you get a physical, usable object to keep. These were some of the first items I created and I'm very proud of.

Here is the first letter opener I made, just an experiment with finishes and working with steel.

This was a letter opener made for my girlfriend using a fork. I forged it to the sizes and proportions I needed then bent the tines to form the love heart.

My most recent creation is this bottle opener I made as a present. Like with this, I always strive to create a design that people haven't seen before. 

Finally, this is my first bottle opener. The design took me a while to draw up as I thought this would be too difficult to get right, however after some accurate measuring I decided to make it. I soon found it to perform perfectly.

Vlogging During Chemotherapy

Here is an example of how even in the worst part of my life I was still keen to keep up with my love of video. I had a series of video blogs which started as my experience through chemotherapy. However when a family friend organised a ball to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust the videos soon became used as a way of informing the guests about life with cancer.
