This was genuinely one of the best things I've ever done. Tim was super patient and helpful and super knowledgeable. I'm really proud of what I accomplished and now have a real itch and passion to do more!
Andrew Davies
Great day - couldn't have improved it, book it now.
Richard harris
Although the day was well presented and full, and although I have not done blacksmithing before the course was too basic for me. If another more advanced course was available I would certainly go again.
Brian
The experience was a Blacksmithing day in the Peak District. The event was very well organised, from booking the date and time to walking out with a hand made toasting fork. Safety was top of the priority list but there was also time for fun and some excellent food. Although the work is quite heavy, it was well within our 70+ years capacity as interested novices.
Robert Booth
Excellent day blacksmithing, friendly instruction in a very well equipped forge. Learnt how to light and maintain the fire and made a poker using a variety of blacksmithing skills.
