"It was an excellent introductory course with a lot of hard work! We were made to feel welcome and comfortable throughout our course. We had a lot of fun making our axes and really enjoyed seeing them take shape. Thank you very much Jack for running these courses, we’d like to come back again soon!"

"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."

"My husband LOVED his day with Jack Waygood - 100% recommend to anyone considering. Jack has trained all over the world and as an artist blacksmith, as well as architectural blacksmith has incredible talent. My husband really enjoyed his teaching and company and said he has an incredible set up and learned a lot. Thanks for a great day Jack! "
