Ax Making Experience

Step into the forge and create something powerful, personal, and built to last.

In our Ax Making Experience, you’ll craft your very own custom ax from start to finish—no prior experience required. This hands-on class is designed for beginners and enthusiasts alike who want to work with steel, fire, and tools in a real blacksmithing environment.

You’ll begin with a pre-cut piece of high-carbon steel shaped for an ax head, allowing you to focus on the most exciting and rewarding parts of the process. Under the guidance of our experienced instructors, you’ll learn how to:

- Drill and prepare your ax head 

- Shape and refine the cutting edge using the grinder 

- Heat treat your steel in the forge for strength and durability 

- Clean and finish the metal for a rugged, professional look 

- Cut, shape, and fit your handle material 

- Assemble and secure your completed ax 

By the end of the class, you’ll walk away with a fully assembled, functional ax—and the satisfaction of knowing you built it yourself.

This experience is perfect for anyone looking for a unique and memorable hands-on activity. Whether you're checking off a bucket list item or giving a one-of-a-kind gift, this class delivers an unforgettable time at the forge.

No experience necessary. All materials and safety equipment are provided.

Come ready to work, learn, and leave with something you’ll be proud of.
