Got a zipper installed on the left hand this morning 😬
In classes we NEVER use an angle grinder and this is why. When they get away from you it happens fast and always does damage.
This one is 100% on me! I wasn't wearing the right PPE. A dumb and expensive (and painful) mistake

Thank God no tendon or ligament damage! Other than a gnarly scar and bruised ego, it'll heal up just fine in a few days.

Out of over 500 classes, today's was a wild but rewarding one.
4 people in class (all have been before for the rail spike class so they are familiar with the shop and safety and all my stories :)).

One talented young man forged and quenched a sword, (he'll have to come back to finish the handle), a father and son forged tomahawks and a phenomenal young man made his family a chef knife for his new home. All done in 5 hours with 1 instructor. Crazy!!

I genuinely love and appreciate that people trust me enough to take on these challenges! Although, today might be a 1 time thing, it was like 3 classes taking place at the same time. I'm tired...

A HUGE and extraordinary THANK YOU to everyone who came out to Fire on the Mountain Blacksmithing Festival today!

We sincerely love the FoM family and Spruce Pine community and hope to be a part of it for many years to come! (even the wet/rainy ones!)

Something fun and different after work this week. Had to dust off the gas-powered "3D printer" 😁

Special thanks to all who worked hard to rebook classes scheduled for this weekend! We are definitely closed due to weather.

Early mornings like this are very rare and a HUGE blessing! (the snow is JUST starting!) 😁

Everyone stay safe and warm!! See you after the thaw... So, like Monday or Tuesday LOL!!

Happy 2026 to everyone!
Apologies for the delay and limited posts lately.
Social media is really hammering blacksmiths and bladesmiths content these days (no pun intended). I'm not sure this message will even post publicly.

Just know I'm still here, still making, and still teaching classes!

Feel free to "like" if you see this and be sure to frequent the website to see new stuff l, have questions or need to place an order.

Peace and love to all in this new year!

That's a wrap for custom orders and classes for 2025!
WOW, what a year in the shop... Thanks so much to the 201 souls who trusted me to teach them how to make a knife and the over 500 who bought a blade or custom project. It's unbelievable the love, support and generosity you all have shown. BIG LOVE!!! ❤️

Lots of stuff on the website for last minute gifts (probably best to pick up at this point vs shipping) www.3arrowsforge.com

If you are one of the 75 people who have a class booked in 2026... THANK YOU!!! I cant wait to meet you and make something cool.
