"We had a great day out learning the basics of forging in a nicely laid out and safe workshop. Richard was great helping us out when we were struggling and we made some fab parts to take home with us. I would thoroughly recommend."

"I had an amazing time with Richard. He is very knowledgeable and patient. I'd highly recommend any of his courses. We spent the full day together and he carefully explained every step and guided me through any areas I was struggling with. A genuine pleasure. "
