Save a Blacksmiths bussiness
Donation protected
My name is Jon Bull, I have been a self employed blacksmith for 5 years now under the business name of Hammer and Tongs based in Kingswood, Bristol.
5 months ago my landlord cut the power to workshop and demanded more money to connect it back. Being self employed I had nowhere near the amount he was asking for, so started using a small generator that enabled me to complete my customers commissions.
I also started looking for a new workshop and recently found one but with all the extra costs of running my workshop by a generator most of my money has gone to keep it going along with repairs as it is an old piece of equipment. Sadly I have asked too much of this generator and therefore find myself suffering now without one and no way to finish my work.
This has left with me without power and stuggled to be able to put a deposit down on the new workshop.
The money raised would go towards doing up the new unit, such as sorting out electrics, installing a chimney for my forge, workbench and moving all the equipment from Bristol to where the new unit is in Cleeve.
To achieve this would mean the world to me, saving my business and allowing me to continue with my work and the craft I am so passionate about.

All rewards will be shipped out within a month of setting up the new workshop as I need 6 weeks to get the unit up and running. Rewards will be shipped to the UK as normal, those going abroad may take longer to be recieved.
Thank you all again for your support.
