Top Blacksmithing related questions
When working with blacksmiths, expect them to set a price for the overall job rather than provide an hourly rate. You can inquire and negotiate the costs before booking a service.
If you’re looking to hire a blacksmith near you for ongoing work, prices can range from £75 to £180 per hour. This depends on the blacksmith’s experience level.
Welding is a process where metal pieces are joint together using high heat. This is a usual step in blacksmithing, which is why many blacksmiths on Airtasker also offer welding services.
The duration of the project usually depends on how complex it is. Simple repairs might take a few hours. Custom designs could take weeks, especially if they require intricate detailing.
Regularly clean your metal pieces with a soft cloth or by dusting. This helps keep dust and debris off. Store jewellery in a dry, airtight container to avoid tarnishing. For heavy-duty equipment or metalwork frequently used, like gates, fences, or railings, make sure to lubricate the moving parts and apply protective paint or sealant to prevent rusting. For decorative metalwork like intricate light fixtures, use a metal polish or wax to preserve the finish.
There are no certifications required for someone to practice blacksmithing. Simply review the Tasker’s experience, portfolio, and feedback from previous clients to see if they’re competent and reliable.
An exception would be if they work as farriers making horseshoes. If this is the case, they need to secure certifications and be listed on the Farrier's Register.
There are many paths to equip you with the skills necessary to become a blacksmith. According to the Crafts Council, you can pursue any of the following:
Do a degree in artist blacksmithing from Hereford College of Arts.
Take an introductory college course in metalwork.
Learn industrial blacksmithing through a welding apprenticeship.
Work as an assistant to an experienced blacksmith.
