So I am finally set up and ready to offer blacksmithing classes! I am super excited about it. The class will be a basic blacksmithing on a coal forge. 4 students at a time. We will talk about tools, safety and basic technique. Then we will get dirty! Each student will have a chance to design and forge their own creation to take home. The class will take about 4-5 hours and will be in my property in Gainesville. First class will be next weekend. Depending on availability of students. So message me call me or text me. I will reserve spots first come first serve! Thanks everyone and let's get this going!
