Super cool guy! Hidden location in Chesapeake…read more I found his classes on Eventbrite while trying to find something fun to do with my kiddo (FYI- he calls himself primitive events on Eventbrite). He did say younger kids can go. But please understand, when you hit the steel, hot metal comes flying out! I didn't think I was going to be strong enough to do it but I did! It was fun to make my little tomahawk. I learned a lot. He's a trained blacksmith and has worked up in Williamsburg so he knows a lot! This will probably be fun with friends but as usual, I went solo! The tomahawk didn't take as long as I had expected. But I had a lot of fun. You actually get to do a lot more than you think. Cool shop. Like I said, I used Eventbrite to buy a ticket. But I'm sure if you call, they will be more than happy to help you. His wife is super sweet and is also really friendly and helpful. You'll make one of a kind piece because well it's you! Reach out to them and see what you can make.

Spoiler alert: she's not Colonial, and she sure can't weld like Colonial. It's giving "fake it till you break it." She's out here taking calls, quoting jobs, and pretending to run a business she didn't build, own, or operate--like putting on a hard hat makes you a fabricator. Cute, but no. If you're looking for real craftsmanship, real welders, and real accountability, make sure you're talking to the actual team--because no matter how many calls she answers or names she drops, you can't fake quality.

Adam, the "Artisan" that did the work for our stair remodel was just outstanding. He laser measured the existing stair heights to ensure that each was step was the same and shimmed each step to made sure that there was no squeaking sound-rock solid treads!. The fit and finish of all the joints on the rails and balusters was such that you wouldn't be able to fit a straight edge razor blade between them. Adam is one of those hard to find old school craftsmen that takes pride in a job well done. I could go on and on and shower these guys with more bravos but everyone gets the idea. If you need a stairway remodel use Hilltop Fab Shop. Period.

Honestly, I would not recommend this business because the unreliability of the quality of the product you receive along with the lack of help to resolve any issues. After this purchase I have vowed to only buy appliances directly from the original stores along with a warranty.
