As well as the likes of "Dazz" (XA GT Resto) give us faith that there will always be craftsmen out there!
Speaking of Blacksmiths... I remember an old guy with a small forge and "smithy shop" set-up down in Melbourne Rd. Newport that used to make Wool Bale grab hooks for me. His main product was hand forged wrought iron gates, fencing and post-top ornaments.
I used to be mesmerized watching him work red-hot iron into absolute art forms.
Last time I was there (probably 6 or 7 years ago) he said that after 60 years as a family business he was shutting due to imports of Chinese die-cast aluminum copies.
