All my Fall 2026 classes are now fully booked! THANK YOU so much for the 60 folks signed up for upcoming classes!

I got a couple seats I should rent out this Fall so people can come watch. Like a "Fall Football and Forging" type thing. ๐Ÿ˜…

Yes, the river table is now a river wall. I had to take it down and repair it due to damage from rain and direct sunlight.
PSA: deep pour epoxy, does not hold up well outdoors and I used a premium 3x UV resistant brand. The objects in the resin seem to heat up and cause some strange things. Zeke's metal leaf rusted while fully encased in resin, rocks appear wet, but Kasen's lure held strong!
This spot only gets a few minutes of direct sunlight each day so we'll see how it hold up. It's a 4' x 8' 375 lbs slab, it ain't coming inside.

HEADS-UP... 3 Arrows Forge will be closed for most of the month of September.
It's a tough decision but I really need to paint my house and take care of some shop maintenance and retooling.

So far in 2026, we have welcomed 156 people in classes and made over 175 custom blades that have shipped, literally, all over the world! What a blessing! THANK YOU all so much!

As an aside, our family is dealing with a lot of stuff that can't be shared on social media. Life is complex sometimes but I continue to be blown away with the caliber of people who show up for classes and end up teaching me more than I could ever teach with heat and a hammer...
Couples, families, teachers, Dads, Moms, soldiers, pilots, firefighters, cops, engineers, IT professionals, students, entrepreneurs, nerds, mechanics, managers, cabinet makers, construction workers, plumbers and beyond... Everyone with a story to tell, everyone with a laugh to share, everyone ready to work, and everyone leaving as 3 Arrows Forge family! I can't thank you enough for being part of our story.

Looking forward to cranking back up in a few weeks and meeting more great people!

LOTS of cool stuff to purchase on the website, let me know if you have a custom order and if anyone knows how to paint a house and wants to help, let me know! ๐Ÿ˜

Summer photo dump... It has been HOT! It has been WILD! It has been BUSY! It has definitely been BLESSED! ๐Ÿ™Œ

A little bit of everything coming out of the shop... Blades, classes, tables, fund raisers, bigger classes, movie props, and more blades.

I can't thank y'all enough for the support, the orders and the prayers
(It has been an unusually tough year for many reasons but we are thankful for peace in our lives and hope in our hearts!)

Watch for lots of new stuff for sale on the website soon. Thanks for looking!

Peace and love, friends! I do truly love this country and our freedom. Here's to 250+ more America!

Got a zipper installed on the left hand this morning ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
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...
