OMG. Everything hurts. EVERYTHING HURTS!!! But that class was awesome. Ron is an amazing instructor. There were 7 of us and we still all got plenty of 1 on 1 instruction. He wouldn't let me use the blood of my enemies to treat the metal, but you win some you lose some.
– Jae M. | YelpBest experience ever!!! We took the 1 Day knife making class and turned a railroad spike into a fully functional knife. Our teacher Neil was patient and knowledgeable. He answered all our questions and put up with my fears. He is literally FIRE. Cannot say enough amazing things about She-Weld. Take a class, you won't regret it.
– Lubock S. | YelpI had an amazing 2-day experience creating my own knife from metal bar to finished, polished, and handle fitted product! The instructors were enthusiastic and very helpful. They helped the small class create their knives every step of the way. I will definitely be going back for more classes in blacksmithing.
– Rob T. | YelpMarsha was great! She is an excellent teacher. She showed us step by step how to turn a round bar square, taper, use the hammer and anvil properly, different techniques. She also allowed us to work on our own projects at the end of class with her assistance. I've already signed up for two more classes! Assistant Jackie was very helpful too. Great class!
