From the workshop floor
I purchased a propane forge from front step two years ago. I've loved it ever since. It's simple, easy and very effective. Built with a lot of care. I highly recommend it (over anything else, including the commercial ones). Anything Front Step makes is the best, period.
Thanks again for saving my ass with making me a forge on such short notice back when mine wasn't cutting it any more....Still love it buddy. Great little forge! I say little but it's twice the size as the commercial ones on the market at half the price! Thanks again!
Shaun is a top rate blacksmith and instructor. He has a wealth of experience and information that is incredibly valuable to anybody with aspirations for doing any sort of forge work. His course at NAIT taught me more in a weekend than i learned by myself over a couple of months and has allowed me to progress as a beginner much faster than I would have thought possible. Thanks Shaun! I look forward to taking more of your courses in the near future.
I ordered a set of small axes to give as gifts and they turned out amazing. Shawn's work is awesome and I would definitely recommend Front Step Forge.
This is an incredible place. Shawn is a fantastic teacher and builds beautiful and functional things. I have ordered a variety of tools from him as well as a forge and everything has performed awesome and been very reliable. Super welcoming if you walk into his shop too do it sometime it will make your day.
Looking for something unique for the home? Woodworking project? Then Shawn is your guy. Great customer service, and wants to work with you on creating something phenomenal.
Best instructor I have had. Most amazing metal artist i have ever seen. Definitely a must see.
