St.John Stidolph - 5 months ago - #36576

This is heavy work, using a sledge hammer for some time, but nothing the reasonably fit can not do. The instruction was clear and all explanations and answers were answered in good detail. A good day with an excellent axe to take home at the end of it. I highly recommend this to all with a desire to try their hand at blacksmithing.
