Troll crosses forged on the winter solstice imbued with the magic's of the dilutive for that extra protection. Forged on my 103 year old Swedish anvil. Knocked up some nails while I was at it.

Dark Dog Forge will hopefully be running some one day Smithing Taster classes. These will be days aimed at the complete novice and will include information on what is involved in Blacksmithing as well as setting up your own forge.

The classes will be small at around 3-4 people to ensure quality and safety. At the end of the day participants will walk away with a project they have completed themselves.

If anyone is interested please contact Dark Dog Forge for further information.

Participation in these classes will be a requirement for anyone wanting to continue on to the more advanced classes I will be running at a later date.
