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 live near this shop (even took a… I live near this shop (even took a smithing class here), so I got to see the forge before I purchased it. Works great, I can get three sessions of about 4 hours each on a 4.5 lb tank of propane. Got “upsold” to the MetalSmith forge (was going to get the Knifesmith), glad I spent the extra money. One thing to be aware of, the Metalsmith needs to be heated up the first time to make sure the cement is fully cured and then allowed to cool prior to first time use. This is an important, yet frustrating step meaning your new toy will take an extra couple of hours to be really useable.

Mark Telephoned me and made sure my … Mark Telephoned me and made sure my order was completed to my satisfaction. He explained the Sword Forge Construction and it's Usage. He also apologized for supplier issues, and when I received the unit some firebrick were damaged. They were very fair about the whole process! I would buy from them again in a heartbeat!!

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.

Great product Great product. Nice stainless steel flare segment for longer service life. I might have liked a one sheet info page guiding user to: A) check product before operation for assembly remain intact after shipping - my jets had shifted and off center - required recentering. B) recommend test firing in vice ... Explain adjustment of choke -- Direct consumer to your website where there's a nice video. C) Advise placement location and depth in forge. You may also want to include plug for other products you have that may benefit user. I did go out And get LP.gas pressure gauge to compare flame burn to gas pressure ... Just education for myself. You may make these and fittings available to users. I did talk to Mike once on some of these topics and he was very nice, very helpful. I'd definitely do business w them again.
