The best way to describe what sets this activity apart is to let recent guests tell you about their experiences in their own words. Jamie July 2024 Surprised my husband and son with this experience and they both have raved about it all week. Mike was incredibly kind and helpful and they both had an amazing time, definitely a highlight of our vacation! We are already planning another trip to north Michigan just so we can revisit Mike’s forge. July 2024 Diane What a great experience, Mike's a great teacher, and explains the process well, love the hands on time and the wall hooks we made. They are complete with a coat of clear lacquer, ready to screw to the wall and hang my hat on. Thank you Mike. March 2024 Doug What a fantastic experience. Mike coaches expertly but you do all the work. Very satisfying adventure. My wife and I each crafted a steel decorative wall coat hook. Mike taught us how to heat the steel and how to form, move and twist it.
