Will do business again Good prices,good delivery time.my only gripe would be that your web site took forever to update.it said "preparing shipment" for 2 days and was at my door.its good it got here before the site said it was out for delivery,just might be confusing for customers in the future...btw I changed it to the 4 star rating I tried but somehow it reset to 1 and I didn't notice it when I posted the review

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

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.

Happy with my first forge. Took a while for it to ship, but it was a busy time, and when I emailed to enquire about a time frame I recieved a quick response, within a few hours with an update and a time frame on when to expect it. Package arrived intact and damage free. Only suggestion would be instructions that included visuals. Otherwise extremely happy with service and experience and cant wait to start using my new forge. Is definitely one of the better priced, ready to use forges that I have found and it is definitely well built. If and when I upgrade to a larger forge I will definitely be returning to 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.
