“Oldfield Forge - Sharp skills shared safely”
The team at Oldfield had the right combination of relaxed attitude with a professional approach when it came to welcoming novices into their fully forged heavy metal world. I felt encouraged, safe and trusted by my mentor. The instruction provided was comprehensive, detailed and enabled me to create some lovely pieces. The team never scoffed at my workmanship and I was never harshly judged nor criticised - largely due to their courtesy rather than my metal working skills. Great day out for all
“Great Forge experience”
