My girlfriend and I attended the date night, ring class tonight as a surprise date night for her. We had the most amazing time with Bill, made two beautiful, cool rings and absolutely loved our date night!!!! Highly recommended for a family event or a great date night and bonding while learning a new art. Bill is a great instructor and totally fun to hang out with. The best date nights are unique experiences and this one was certainly that!! Thanks again for everything!! We will be back and bring friends!

Great experience all around. Purchased tickets to the railroad spike to knife workshop as a gift for my father and I. Small home style forge with an intimate experience, we had 5 in the workshop with two instructors to assist. They gave us instruction and let us work on our own, always available for tips and assistance. All materials provided for an easy beginner blacksmith experience. They work with your skill level appropriately. Would highly recommend to anyone regardless of skill for a fun and informative experience. Great business to work with!

I highly recommend Steel Rose Forge! We made coin rings for our family Christmas party. Great time for everyone of all ages.

We had the best experience at Steel Rose Forge! We did a class with Bill on a Friday night and it was one of the best gifts I ever got for my husband. He is a big fan of Forged in Fire ? and we had a great time together learning some of the basics of metalworking. I can’t speak more highly of Bill’s creativity and his ability as a teacher as well as his passion for all that is metal. ????

I started my blacksmithing journey here. Bill is a great teacher and makes this accessable to everybody. His range of classes allow a single class project or keep coming and learning more. I can't wait to get back and learn more as I start to set up my own forge at home. I cannot speak to his comissioned work, but what I see in and around his shop is amazing.

We had fun. My only suggestion would be less people per class due to the size of the facility.

I attended the tool class. The instructor knew what he was doing and was great at teaching me! The class is hands on from step one. Not only do you learn how to make a variety of styles of tongs, but you learn how to set / adjust them to the material that you'll be using them with. You are given options to make them YOUR tools and if you're not sure, you learn why it makes a difference and how to decide. I CANNOT recommend this class enough

Bill held a contest on Sunday, 24 May 2020. My son Josh won the contest and won a beautiful “Don’t Tread On Me” “Patriot” silver coin ring. Unknown to me, my son won, and gifted the ring to me. I have never been so honored. I retired from the USAF and then retired from the Mi Dept of Corrections after being severely injured at the prison. As a result of my injuries, I was forced to retire as a Firefighter for our Township. Josh and Bill made arrangements for Bill to present this beautiful ring personally. I’ll be honest, to me, this was as important as someone receiving a Congressional Medal of Honor. The thought, the recognition, the love put into this ring, means that much to me. This is a day I will never forget. Thank you Josh and Thank you Bill.I am honored,Bob Hoag, Tsgt, USAF Ret

Bill is an excellent and entertaining teacher. Took the coin ring class. There are several stations set up so that multiple people can be working at once. Highly recommend taking one of his classes.
