I am Very interested, I am a beginner knife maker (Im on my second one) I learned from a pretty cool video from a guy called "Green Pete" online it was very helpful and informative video but unfortunately you cant ask a video questions lol. I would love to attend these classes. I am in the process of making a homemade forge so I can harden my two knives but may wait if a class opens up soon enough, please let me know I am very excited : ) oh and how much are the classes?:bounce:

You don't need a job to visit my shop 🙂
Also, I'll be at the Spokane County Fair doing blacksmithing demos from September 7 through September 18, so feel free to come by and ask any questions that come to mind--

Hello Steve! 

I am a just getting started blacksmith and would love an opportunity to meet with you and possibly sign up for one of your classes. I realize this thread is a few years old, do you still offer classes and such? I would greatly appreciate some guidance on getting started on my blacksmithing journey. Thank you!

Steve does come over to Longview every once in a while, but since it's not too reliable of an assurance, you could probably try contacting him through his site. Just search incandescent ironworks and you should come up with it.

My Youtube channel: Cave of Skarzs

Just having some fun messing around with whatever I have a mind to do.
