Amazing day and amazing guys! Real life blacksmithing, not tourist oriented. Allows you to be intrinsically involved in the production of your own forged tool (I made a knife). Still remember wonderful converstaions with Jose and Garry. Do not forget to wonder around. If you are lucky and Mustang garage closeby is open then chat with the owner - I enjoyed that as much as the course itself. Bring the lunch and a lot of water with you as there are no much shops or eateries around. Blacksmiths are offering coffee or tea as well. Money and time well worth spent!

I had a great time at the Forge yesterday. Jos was welcoming and a good teacher. Friargate is a working forge with plenty of tea/coffee on tap as neccessary. I was shown the ropes and what I should be doing, then had freedom to continue [supervised] on the work required to smith my item. Good combination of hands on and instruction. Really nice bespoke item created. Thanks for a fun day!
