Of late, anyway. You see, I've been busy working on websites and blogsites in readiness for the development and opening of Metalsmithery. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXUHUP02mZf3hCUzh7VFd0TFG1R92RTq04Jn6OrpvgM88IYxilJTQwLRbNT7CdnXHC5zKxoaP6VZcZkpyMhF_3arDgyp6srjjJa7hhphqpnaAWjqlre9vp79mApMHUtm-Oqcb9rtNbBoM/s320/vksm07_014.gif)

Metalsmithery will be our retail outlet for metal creations and accessories that go with those creations. There will be a metal shop, a cafe and eventually, a small bakery. All in the same building; - an old derelict roadhouse, abused and abandoned, situated in a small rural village of NSW, Australia - '..in the middle of nowhere, on the road to everywhere.." - according to J McKay - a local resident.
Metalsmithery has been my 'dream' for years and years. I wanted to somehow combine hospitality and baking and coffee (me) with metal fabrication (the Machinist).
And in the process, drag the children in, too - kicking and screaming and wailing.

Just kidding.
My girls are great baristas, though. And their baking skills? Oh, man... it's a good job I can't see my butt, or I know I would go into a week-long depression. Until the next Lindt chocolate gluten free friand....
The Metalsmithery website is almost finished and more will be added as products are manufactured, photographed and - well - uploaded.

I will be detailing the merchandise and life as a shopkeeper via the Metalsmithery blog, otherwise known as The Metal-Shop Keeper blog.
Someone still has to hold the fort, though, and that would be the Machinist and Son, at our fabrication shop - the Machine shop - Debco Engineering Pty Ltd. I've also set up a company blog relating to this more commercial / industrial side of our operation - namely - Debloggery.
Over the coming months I will be flirting with all of these blogs:
Debco Engineering = Debloggery
Metalsmithery = The Metal-Shop Keeper
Home, Housekeeping and Family = The Machinist's Wife
Clear as a muddy puddle in clay soil? Welcome to my Manufactory!
