All my courses are a singular payment. In a world of annoying subscriptions, I want you to own what you pay money for. The purchase of any class gives you access to interactive comments under each lesson, private community access, and no recurring fees. This course is yours for life.
Bladesmithing is an inherently risky craft. It involves high temperatures, power tools, and the occasional chemicals. I spend a lot of time in the course discussing how to keep yourself safe and the importance of PPE, but by purchasing a course, you acknowledge that you understand and accept the risks involved, and take full responsibility for your own safety.
