Welcome and enjoy.
I’d never leave any employment to become self employed unless it was to start my own business and I was at the top of my game.
The grass may seem greener and tiling is certainly enjoyable, but it could take an awful long time to build up a portfolio and gain repeat work .
I’d concentrate on blacksmith/forge work and hone your skills to an elite market.
Good luck.
