We took Steve’s class last weekend and I can legitimately it was the best workshop and trade experience we have had by a mile. We were both a bit nervous going in about the pressure of doing something we had never done before, but in not even 5 minutes, Steve turned anxiety and uncertainty in […]

I recently had the opportunity to spend a day at the Cowboy Forge to create a steel rose! I had such a great time! Steve’s skills as an instructor are awesome! He displayed such patience and tolerance as I made my way through the steps necessary to fabricate a flower from a sheet of flat […]
