Why I Started LearnToForge: A Blacksmith’s Mission to Keep the Craft Alive

For over 30 years, blacksmithing has been my life, passed down from my father and shaped by my own experiences.

As a craft that’s quickly disappearing in today’s world, I felt a deep need to preserve it, not just for myself, but for future generations.

A Craft at Risk

In a world dominated by machines and mass production, the art of blacksmithing is fading. This is something I refuse to let happen. It’s not just about making metal tools, it’s about creating something meaningful that connects the maker to tradition and history.

Passing On Knowledge

My father taught me that knowledge is something to be shared. That belief has stayed with me and motivated me to teach others.

Whether you’re just starting or looking to refine your skills, I want to offer guidance and insights that make learning the craft more accessible.

Fostering a New Generation

The true value of blacksmithing lies not only in the craft itself but in the community it builds.

Through this site, I hope to connect aspiring blacksmiths and create a space where we can share tips, stories, and techniques. Together, we can preserve the legacy of blacksmithing and keep it alive for years to come.
