Good purchase. Forge arrived in good condition only one bolt was bent. Lights easily, heats metal to working temp 10-15 minutes starting at 30°-40° ambient temp. Pleased with fuel usage, keep turning it down the longer it is on.

Excellent forge just did burn in and… Excellent forge just did burn in and aside from a little orfice tuning all went perfectly. Rock solid construction And excellent customer service Mike has spoken with me three times to help me out and is always informative and courteous. Thank you Mathewson metals !

I definitely recommend Mathewson MetalSmith products I definitely recommend Mathewson Metals. Shipping was quick, forge arrived in good condition, easy to assemble and operate. Doesn’t burn a lot of propane; a tank lasted me about 6 hours of forging at high heat. I bought the MetalSmith model. My only cautions are that it’s pretty small, so if you want the option of working on bigger projects you may want a bigger forge with a bigger door. Also, it’s a single burner, and I haven’t been able to achieve forging heat on mild steel.

Nice forge and even better customer service Product arrived pretty beat up, box looked like the UPS guys kicked it around the truck, surprisingly nothing major was broken just a couple small pieces. Sent them an email with the problems and got an immediate response to fix the problem even though it’s was broken by UPS during shipping. Forge was well built and looks like it will last for many years to come. Great product with even better customer service you’d be making a huge mistake not choosing this company.

Fine product The forge worked very well, and will work better as I tweak it for my needs. It took longer to heat up than I expected, until I readjusted the flame as per instructions in the online video. Then it heated beautifully, and I heat treated two blades prior to tempering, and annealed two other files to become billets for future knives. Service was excellent. My packaging was solid. My product was solid. Since I am almost 75 years old, I probably will not be buying another forge, but if I do, it will be another one from Mathewson. Frank L
