"I'd not been in a fabrication workshop since the 90s, Andy even knew the company I used to work for. He's very knowledgeable and easy going with a great teaching style. It's a great introduction course."

Pete Clifford reviewed: Hand forged rustic knife course

"This was a lot of fun. Having no experience since 5th form metalwork 45 years ago, I didn't expect to be much good at this.....and I wasn't!! I really enjoyed it though, and I made a serviceable knife. Andy was a huge help and his teaching style is both effective and engaging. Recommended "

"My Son and I had a fantastic day with Andy at the workshop. Andy is clearly a very knowledgeable guy and his ability to convey that knowledge to the people attending the course is excellent. I would whole heartedly recommend this course to anyone who has an interest in forging knives and wants to get an idea of how to start. We learnt a lot. I think we will definitely be going back for another of Andy's courses at some point. "

"Andy was great, he not only talked us all through the right practices and methods, but he also demonstrated how to do everything (more than once when needed). We had a larger group (6) but we didn’t feel rushed at all throughout. Overall a great and unique experience, I’d recommend. "

"Really enjoyed my day out forging my knife, Andy was a great teacher and had a great balance of letting you get on with it and only helping and advising where needed to make sure the knife came out good. Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about a blacksmithing experience."

Horatio Hawes reviewed: Hand forged rustic knife course

"A great experience! Andy is very knowledgeable in the area and great at explaining and demonstrating the techniques. Getting to take home a knife you made yourself at the end of the day is a great souvenir and good to show off your experience. The small class size helped keep the focus on individual skill improvements and helped everyone feel like they got time to get help. Would definitely go to another one of these classes!"

"Really enjoyed this course. I've never done any forging before but with Andy's expert tuition I was able to craft a very passible knife. If you fancy having a go at hammering red hot metal then this is the course for you!"

Peter Newman reviewed: Hand forged rustic knife course

"My wife bought me this for a Christmas present. What a great day it was. Andy takes his time to explain every process so you feel confident to do it yourself. He is always ready to step in and advise you if needed. The pace of the day is perfect and you come away with a decent knife, albeit a first attempt. Definitely keep an eye on further opportunities with Andy as and when I can fit them in. Thank you Andy for a great day. Highly recommend you."

Mike Housley reviewed: Hand forged rustic knife course

"This is a great course as an introduction to knife making. Andy is a friendly and patient instructor, explaining all the steps you will be taking then letting you get on with it but always on hand with help and guidance when you need it. I will definitely be looking at the other courses Andy offers to work at improving the skills he has shown me."
