Adam Carlson reviewed: Work of Iron | Edinburgh | AXE FORGING @ Centre for Contemporary Blacksmithing

"Jack was very down to earth and friendly, and the experience felt very personalized. Even though a lot of the equipment and processes felt intimidating at first, Jack does a good job of explaining the use and purpose of each one; to the point that after the course I felt like I would be quite comfortable going into a forge and making something myself. Not only did I get to learn the techniques of the craft, but also the behind the scenes knowledge of the business itself. Overall a very useful, fun, and satisfying experience."

Kirstin Johnson reviewed: Work of Iron | Edinburgh | AXE FORGING @ Centre for Contemporary Blacksmithing

"This course was bought as a gift for my husband. Jack was really accommodating in providing the course as he no longer runs axe making as standard. My husband had a great time and found the course really fun and enlightening in how tough blacksmithing is! He is really proud of his axe head. Thanks so much Jack for working around our tricky timing with our newborn and putting on the course in the first place! We have already recommended you to a friend of ours."

"Jack was great! He was patient as he walked us through the fundamentals of what we were making and split his time between us to guide us to getting better. We had lots of fun and enjoyed our day."
