Three stays and a games room, but no single room big enough for everyone at once. The old workshop can be that room.

In my grandfather's day this was the busiest place for miles: anchors made for the fishermen, gates for the farmers, the kettle kept going for the lot of them. It was never quiet.

The roof's on and watertight now; fitting out the inside is next. We're bringing it back to exactly what it always was, a place full of people.

Not a bit of new steel.

His frame was sound, so we kept every piece of it and painted it black, to set it off against the new insulated roof going on over the top. His structure, made sharp again. Not replaced.

The room's come good already: dry, and far lighter than it's been in years.

Restoring the old workshop, a job at a time.

The old roof came off the workshop this month, and his steelwork was standing right there underneath, the trusses Davey John welded and raised himself, as sound as the day they went up.

He was the first welder in this part of Donegal, taught himself from a manual night after night. The way my mother puts it: when he welded a thing, it wouldn't give.

We were never going to touch the steel, only look after it.

The old forge is the games room now, a bristle board on the stone wall, a proper throw-down oche, chess going in the corner. Best of three, then across the yard to the hot-stone sauna. Somewhere to be when Donegal turns wet. Book direct → daveyjohnsforge.ie
