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.

16 days and counting and still no forge and no contact phone number I would love to give them a higher rating, and most likely will when we get our forge, but it has been 16 days and counting and still no forge. Additionally they need a contact phone number if they are going to sell such expensive products.

Atrocious shipping Hopefully the forge lives up to the hype when it arrives, atrocious shipping. I placed an order on Feb 6, according to the shipping policy on their website it should have shipped that Friday. A label was not created until the 13th, however the product still did not ship until the 20th, I was told due to inclimate weather. Travking now tells me to expect it on tbe 27th. A ridiculous amount of time in this day and age. This company did not adhere to their shipping policy.

Do it! You wont regret it I have made 2 purchases from here, first was a metalsmith forge (a great forge by the way, quality burner, and excellent design of both). I made a video review of the forge but cannot figure how to upload here. I will put on youtube and update with link later. In the meantime, reasonable prices, quality products....so do hesitate.

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 !
