About this Event

In this class at War Horse Forge, you will make the best darn garden trowel or hand rake ever! Sturdy, easily sharpened, and hand crafted by you. What a great gift for Mother's Day.

The class is free for veterans, active duty military, first responders, and their family members (attending with them as a battle buddy)and limited to 8 people. Each attendee must register individually and be at least 18 years old. We are located on our farm in Stafford, Virginia.

A $25 fee is charged when you register for a class. Upon completion of the class, you can choose to have your $25 refunded (minus Eventbrite fees) 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 let us know (540/538-7453).

War Horse Forge is the blacksmithing program of our nonprofit 19Hands Inc. Our mission is to offer free, hands-on learning programs for veterans, active duty military, first responders, and their families to improve their physical and mental well-being and create a community of support.
