personal shops

I maintain the forge and teach classes at Arch Reactor Hackerspace in St. Louis, MO, US. I like to make various tools, especially hammers. I'm always ready to offer an informal class for the price of lunch or a beer, as I believe access to the skilled trades and small proprietor business skills changes lives.
I am available by request to help you set up your own shop to get blacksmithing within your budget and capability, and to connect you to local resources for the amazing blacksmithing community.
