A one-man business, Hudson Hammerworks has brought the historical craft of blacksmithing to Leamington Spa and other communities in the West Midlands where history plays an important part in town culture. Conor Hudson began the business in 2025 and has since become involved in work for the historical re-enactor's market and the Sikh community. He has also played a part in decorating people's homes, restoring victorian ironworks in the West Midlands by creating and hand-crafting beautiful iron home decorations, candlesticks, fireplace accessories and more.

Now Conor will share the processes with his customers and followers on YouTube. The channel will be entertaining, informative and promotional, becomming an exciting new part of the business.

Videos will cover tutorials for aspiring blacksmiths on how to make hand-forged items such as decorations, tools and pendants. Using expert knowledge and seven years of experience, Conor intends to share the secrets of his success by demonstrating forging methods he has used throughout his years of blacksmithing.

Conor also intends to perform forging experiments with different metal types, new and ancient techniques so that he can learn together with his followers.

There will also be fun videos on various projects Conor is working on. The first couple of videos to be featured will be the forging of a guitar pick which will be used to play a guitar and show the effectiveness of Conor's forging techniques and experimenting with medieval metal polishing methods.

Conor will follow his projects, making 2 to 3-part series on the making of his commissioned products. The channel is aimed at blacksmiths and those interested in the trade as Conor seeks to build connections in the industry and in the community.
