OK FOLKS, I HAVE DECIDED TO MAKE A MAJOR CHANGE TO THE CLASS FORMAT. FROM HERE ON OUT, INCLUDING THE CURRENT LISTED CLASSES, ALL CLASSES WILL BE ONE DAY ONLY. THEY WILL GO FROM 9AM - 4:30PM WITH A 30MIN. BREAK FOR LUNCH. YOU CAN BRING A LUNCH OR RUN OUT IF YOU WANT, BUT WE WILL NOT PLAN ON LEAVING AS A GROUP AS WE DID BEFORE.
THE COST IS $125/CLASS WITH A $10.COAL FEE PLUS A MATERIAL STARTING AT $5.00.
THE ITEMS MADE IN EACH CLASS MAY HAVE CHANGED SLIGHTLY DUE TO LOOSING A DAY. i FEEL THAT THIS WILL ACCOMPANY MORE INDIVIDUAL WEEKEND SCHEDULES.
THE WEBSITE WILL BE UPDATED A.S.A.P.

WE STILL HAVE ROOM IN THE FEB 21TH BASIC/FIRE PIT CLASS.

THANK YOU.

PSA, FROM JEEP'S FORGE SCHOOL OF BLACKSMITHING
Well folks, here we go again. The Open Forge for 1/31/26 is being moved to 2/7/26. Due to the temperature on Saturday being around the low to mid 20's makes the chance of making either the inner or outer shop a comfortable temperature to work in hard to achieve. Plus, with the chance of measurable snow fall Saturday morning-evening makes travel questionable.
I hope the moves works out for everyone.
ALSO, with the interest in this open forge, I am going to add a second open forge on 2/28/26.
I hope you can make one or the other or both.
Also, don't forget the basic blacksmithing and fire pit tool combo class on 2/21/26.

PSA... from Jeeps Forge school of Blacksmithing.
DUE TO THE INCOMING WEATHER THIS WEEKEND, THE OPEN FORGE SCHEDULED FOR 1/24 IS BEING MOVED TO 1/31. I HOPE EVERYONE THAT PLANNED ON COMING THIS WEEKEND CAN MAKE IT ON THE 31th.
