Learn to make a knife, spurs, or rustic home decor with N.J. Pawley at his one man shop in Cody, Wyoming. He teaches only two students at a time, because in a room where a set of tongs left in the rack is still hot enough to take skin off, two is what one man can watch.

What you'll do

•Every finished piece is coated in linseed oil, the way smiths have done it since the Middle Ages

Good to know

Rooted here

N.J. Pawley comes from a long line of horse trainers. He apprenticed his way to farrier work, and a farrier has to make his own shoes, and then his own tools, and once you are making your own tools you are a blacksmith whether you have called yourself one or not.
