"Learning a craft isn't about being taught one way that works. It's about understanding what works, what doesn't, why it fails, and how it could succeed in the right hands."
Who is this course for?
This course is targeted toward anyone that wants to get into the world of bladesmithing and blacksmithing. I do a lot of the course on beginner equipment, and for every step that I do with more advanced equipment, I explain how to do the equivalent on cheaper beginner equipment.
I remember starting off with so few tools that I didn't even have a file. I know exactly how daunting taking that first step is, and I do my best to guide you towards not just learning the basics of the craft, but setting up a sustainable beginner shop in today's world.
