"Me and the lads had areally enjoyable weekend, your sheppard huts are great Nigel. We`ve told our mates all about your brill machinery, such a lot to take in, your patience with us was much appreciated. My fiance loved the flower you helped me make for her, she`s insisting I have to come back and make some more, in fact she loved them so much she wants some as centre pieces at our wedding next year. I think i need your help with that if she wants them done in time. Ha, Ha, please send me any future events going on, I will be back in a few months for some more instructions from the master. Thanks Nigel . You were great."

"What a brill weekend, Nigel your a great teacher, so patient, i got some smashing pics of the beautiful things we made, my friends are all quite envious and they have all been given your phone. I would highly recommend anyone, male or female, who would like to work with a PROPER ARTIST and learn something completely differant, for fun or as a gift to someone you love. Go on you`ll have a brilliant time and next time I want to stop in the sheppard hut, they are really beautiful. Your skills are great Nigel, thanks to you and your staff. See you all soon. Thankyou again. Debs."

"I attended one of Nigel's courses and was given a large amount of time actually forging coming away with useful ironwork and a thirst to do more. The accommodation is good with basic facilities to cook and a number of close hostelry's. I understand that new accommodation in showman vans are being constructed to support the new courses to help people assemble Shepherd Huts--cant wait!!"

"I attended a 1 day course in Blacksmithing with Nigel at Fransham Forge in September 2013. I would rate the training as first class; the tuition was adapted to my interest and level of skill with most of the instruction being hands on. I came away with some nice pieces which have been much admired by my friends and family! Nigel has a wealth of experience in all aspects of metal-working and the forge itself is equipped with amazing tools and equipment.I definitely look forward to going back for more tuition."
