Veronica, Columbus

Took the beginner class. The instructors are first rate. Doug, Danielle and David all have a great passion for Blacksmithing. The Lockheart’s welcome you into their home and feed you an incredible lunch. Quit trying to decide and take this class you won’t be sorry.

Dennis, Xenia

You arrive at an 1800’s log cabin and working farm. The Blacksmith shop is awesome and set up to perfection. Doug and his daughters were definitely informative and hands on. They explained and showed every step for introductory blacksmithing and I could tell they loved the art/craft. Lunch was in the home and also a beautiful sight, Doug’s family treat you like one of their own. Would definitely recommend this class to anyone who would like to learn a skilled trades.

Jim, Delaware

What a great experience! Had a great time and can’t wait to come back! They are awesome, the whole family takes you in right down to the home cooked meal! Thanks so much!

If you are interested in taking a class on blacksmithing, I would highly recommend this one. I really like the fact that SOSB stresses teaching you several basic hammering skills. By the end of the day, you end up combining all those skills into final project.

Gary, Columbus

The wife and I took the beginner class of October 13th. Excellent class, Doug and his family are awesome!! I have taken other beginner blacksmithing classes with other organizations in the past and have alway left them feeling like I was missing something and had no confidence to start working independently of a project of my own. Doug’s instructions and real life experience have me excited and ready to start working on my own.

Rob, Illinois

What an awesome experience! My son and I took the beginner’s class and were “hooked!” Very thankful to the Lockhart family for opening their shop and home to help set us up for success in our blacksmithing adventures.
