Tool Making Hammer And Tongs Blacksmith Experience

This Tool Making Hammer and Tongs Blacksmith Experience is a brilliant hands-on opportunity to craft real tools from raw metal, all under the guidance of a master blacksmith.

This two-day blacksmithing course teaches you how to forge a range of essential tools, including a cross pein hammer, tongs, hot and cold chisels, and hot punches. It’s ideal for budding bladesmiths, blacksmiths, or anyone who enjoys traditional skills and working with their hands. Whether they’re a complete beginner or have dabbled in metalwork before, this experience is tailored to all skill levels and welcomes different trades, from thatchers to stonemasons, who want to create tools specific to their craft.

Run by award-winning professional blacksmith Will Holland FWCB, this course takes place in a proper working forge. Groups are kept small so everyone gets plenty of one-to-one tuition and the chance to go at their own pace. It’s a relaxed, encouraging environment where confidence builds quickly and sparks, quite literally, fly.

All safety gear, tools, and materials are provided, and if they’ve already got some forging experience, Will can demonstrate more advanced techniques to help take their skills to the next level.

Whether you're buying for a hobbyist, a craftsperson, or someone who’s always wanted to try blacksmithing, this is the kind of gift that’s remembered for years. It’s not just an experience, it’s the start of a new skill.

Open to ages 16 and over, this is a fantastic alternative to the usual presents and a great way to give the gift of creativity, craftsmanship, and fire-forged fun.
