Ste reviewed: Basic blacksmithing course

"I was elated as I left the basic blacksmithing course and would recommend this course to anyone interested in having a go at blacksmithing. I did the day course of basic blacksmithing and managed to make a bottle opener and decorative leaf in the time. I cracked a beer in the evening with the bottle opener as well which was very satisfying! Jos was really good at helping me understand the things we were doing and Gary gave some really helpful advice with some of the finer points of the craft. Also watching Gary and Jos make a bottle opener in about 3 minutes was worth the money alone, super impressive. Take some lunch if you don't drive is my advice as there wasn't much around the place if you don't have a car. I could bang on and on about this but I'll end with saying I'll be doing this again in the near future "

Dave Rooney reviewed: Basic blacksmithing course

"Was a great experience. Very informative and really a brand new experience. Both guys made sure that I knew what I was doing and that I was safe. I have really caught the bug."

Jack reviewed: 2 day knife/axe making courses

"Can't recommend you take this course enough. Gary and Jos were both hugely knowledgeable and skilled at their craft, they provided just the right amount of assistance. The knife turned out absolutely perfectly, well exceeding my expectations and is now a piece that I will keep and use forever. "

Vanessa Binnie reviewed: Basic blacksmithing course

"My partner and daughter did the one day course for birthday presents. They both loved it and both came away with amazing pieces. Men are always a struggle to buy for I find and this was a unique and interesting experience which he loved. My daughter is arty and loves to create 'stuff'. She didn't stop smiling all day. She wants to do another!! My partner said he found the whole experience value for money for what he got out of it."
