Karl Murphy reviewed: Blacksmithing - one to one - Hammer Skills

"Myself and son did a day with Bob , it was a great day well worth it . I had a few delays booking a date but Bob was very helpful . The day was great , Bob explains things well , easy going and very knowledgeable. You are busy all day and it's well worth the experience. Bob shows you different methods in the morning and in the afternoon is where it all comes together and you make things you can take home . The best coarse myself and son have done and Bob makes a good brew "

"I booked the one-to-one course for my partner’s birthday and he loved every minute of it. Bob has the rare combination of decades of experience in his craft, whilst also being a good teacher. There was an excellent balance between demonstration and hands-on work. Bob is a lovely guy, very friendly and funny, and made the experience welcoming to a complete beginner. We’d love to come back again and learn more. "

"My husband and I had the most wonderful day with Bob! He is an amazing tutor with a great sense of humour and wit, not to mention the knowledge of his profession. I cannot recommend this course enough. It is a day of so much focus and fun that everything else around you disappears. I thought I would come home with a small nail but I made a log poker and a beautiful hook. The day gave me a deeper understanding of the expression ‘strike whilst the iron is hot’. Five stars and more to Bob!"

"What a day, Bob is an amazing teacher, It was a great day from start to finish starting with forge safety then moving onto basic hammer work. Once we hit the afternoon we moved onto more technical work, I was over the moon with the Viking knife and bottle opener. If you're looking for an introduction to smithing I highly recommend this course, Bob also makes a mean brew."
