Great experience and cool souvenirs! - My daughter and I really enjoyed this activity. We started with a safety briefing and then got the furnace lit. While it was heating up Bert gave us a brief history of aluminum and showed us examples of the various metals he works with. Back to the now-heated furnace and we started feeding in aluminum cans and other recyclable aluminum scrap. It was really interesting to watch all that scrap metal turn into liquid aluminum. We then skimmed the dross and poured our ingots and coins. Note my use of the word “we.” This isn’t one of those experiences where you watch the artisan do 95% of the work but you get to touch one thing so you can say “I made that.” We literally did every step ourselves from lighting the furnace to feeding it to skimming the dross and pouring the liquid metal into the molds. Bert provided detailed instruction at each step along the way so we could do it safely and successfully. This is a well-organized and very fun hands-on experience. I highly recommend it.

Great First Time Metalworking Experience - The experience was amazing! I booked this for my husband mainly, even though we were doing it as a couples activity. I was blown away by how much fun it was. Herbert was very funny and very informative. He answered all of our questions and always put safety first. We never felt uncomfortable or rushed, and we're planning to bring our son to do this next time. Highly recommended!

Even my unimpressed teen was smiling - My 14yr old and I had a wonderful time. Mr. Rosenbaum is an excellent teacher. Very knowledgeable, friendly and safety focused. He was very clear and patient with his instructions. It was the 1st time us girls had ever held a torch, seen a forge or handled any of the tools used but he made sure we felt confident each step of the way. We made a few pirate coins and imperial credits, which are a treasure. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone looking for a one of a kind experience.
