    They are one of the nicest people I have ever meet we meet them at an Indian restaurant and let me say they talked to us like we were not strangers. I was heart-warmed by them and they made my day. Thank you

    I enjoyed talking with you guys at the
    South Carolina State Fair.
    I was the one that made the horse art and saw blade
    Flowers.
    You have an awesome setup.
    Both of you were very friendly.
    I hope you enjoyed our fair.

    I gotta say, everytime I bring the family to the fair I always stop by! I’ve always loved swords, shields, and other ancient weapons that were forged by blacksmiths. I’ve always wanted to make my own but I never how…until now that is. You helped inspired me to learn the craft and jump in with both feet. My goal is to one day be good enough to sell knifes, beautiful custom gates along with leafs, hooks, and other knickknacks. I even forged a heart for my wife to put on her keychain for valentine’s day. I’m looking forward to seeing y’all at the Coweta county, Ga fair and maybe getting some one on one time to learn from you!

    I enjoyed your presentation at the SC State Fair today. You made the small horseshoe and stamped his name for the young helper named Benjamin. I talked to your wife more than I got to speak to you. You were busy with Benjamin’s family but I still learned a lot. Thank You and keep your show going, it is a dying art.

    I made one last night and I had fun. I NEVER have done anything like this before. I showed my little sister last night and she said she is going to stop by and make one. Also the price was not a bad price. I dont care about how much it coast the memory and fun I had was well worth it! 🙂 Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Gardner.
