Surprised my husband and son with this experience, and they have been raving about it all week. Mike was incredibly kind and helpful, and they both had an amazing time. It was definitely a highlight of our vacation! We are already planning another trip to northern Michigan just to revisit Mike’s forge.

What a wonderful experience! Mike is an excellent teacher who explains the process well. I loved the hands-on time and the wall hooks we made. They are finished with a coat of clear lacquer, ready to be screwed to the wall and hang my hat on. Thank you, Mike.

What a fantastic experience. Mike provides expert coaching, but you do all the work. It was a very satisfying adventure. My wife and I each crafted a steel decorative wall coat hook. Mike taught us how to heat the steel and how to form, move, and twist it.
