★★★★★“Excellent experience! Sandy was a great host, very knowledgeable and created a friendly and safe atmosphere. I am amazed at how good the final result looks. Highly recommended!!”
★★★★★“Had a great experience. The teacher was Sandy and he was full of energy and enthusiasm (and knowledge). My group made hammers and it was a lot of fun. Made a normal hammer and a couple of custom variations, an ice pick hammer and a nut cracking hammer. Was surprised we got away with the custom ones but this was a second visit and I had made the normal hammer already (it was so good we came back for seconds). Having had the normal hammer for a couple of years it really stands out how hard the tool steel is. I polished it to a mirror finish when making it and it’s still almost unmarked today despite using it to whack centre punches really hard. I expect our new custom hammers (ice pick and nutcracker) will be the same, but they’re great just as talking pieces, “oh that, I made that, it’s for…”. Was a good bonding exercise. I suggested the wife and I come back next month and make a pair of Viking battle axes for our anniversary but it didn’t go down as well as I hoped.”
★★★★★“A great course and day out with Sandy. He was great and explained everything perfectly. Managed to come away with a half decent bottle opener and fire poker too. Would recommend!”
