Non forging option is available. This is call stock removal.
Starting time is 9am with us finishing around 5pm but could be later with bigger classes (no later than 6.30pm).
Lunch is included. This usually is a BBQ steak sandwich. Can change it up for those who are not meat eaters.
Maximum limit 4 people per class.
Minimum limit 2 people per class.
Price is $300pp
A $50pp booking deposit is required to confirm your booking and is refundable up to 2 weeks before the class.
Age limit is 16 and above. We are playing with temperatures over 800c and with knives so safety comes first.
Any questions feel free to ask.

I was lucky enough to find an anvil at Shingle Creek Collectables. Next step is getting a second belt grinder.

Hi everyone, hope you guys and gals had a great Christmas and new year.
I'm after a second anvil so I can have a group of people in a class. If anyone has one locally for sale I would much appreciate it. Send me a message if you do.
As for classes I'll be putting up a post shortly with dates.

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback about the knife making class. I made a few extras for December and they got booked out straight away. For those who missed out I'll be looking at doing more in January and February. Keep an eye out on my page for future dates.

Hi everyone, just testing the waters if anyone would be interested in doing a knife making class. It would be limited to 2 people and it'll be over one day.
This would consist of starting around 9am with some forging (stock removal if you don't like forging) followed by heat treatment. Lunch time brake(tempering during this time) then onto grinding the blade and starting the handle. Ideally finishing up between 4-5pm.
Price is $250pp.
Please message me if you are interested, I'm looking at doing this class on 25th of November.
This would be my first class so prices may go up from there
