About this Event

At War Horse Forge, veterans, active duty military, and first responders learn blacksmithing using traditional techniques. Our programs are located on our farm in Stafford, Virginia. In this class, you will forge a bottle opener from a railroad spike, creating a one-of-a-kind tool for opening beverages (image shows just two options).

The class is limited to 8 people and is for veterans, active duty military, and first responders. You can have a battle buddy who is not military or first responder attend with you. However, each attendee must register individually and be at least 18 years old.

The only fee is $25 to register for the class. Upon completion of the class, you can choose to have your $25 refunded or donate it to War Horse Forge. We hope this nominal (and refundable) fee will ensure those who sign-up for a class do show up as we often have waitlists. If this fee is a hardship, please call us and we will work with you (540/538-7453).

War Horse Forge is the blacksmithing program of our nonprofit 19Hands Inc. We offer free hands-on programs to veterans, active duty military, first responders, and their supporters.
