What To Expect
Join me at my scenic 5-acre residence where we will have a truly unique experience. I will teach you the basics of metal smelting. You will learn about the tools and techniques required as well as some information on the common metals that can be cast by novice users. You will get the chance to smelt an aluminum ingot and coin. If you prefer I have a palm-sized baby Yoda that you can mold instead of the ingot. I will guide you through the process of using a small smelter to melt the metal, remove any impurities, and then cast it into a small coin and ingot. You will then be able to polish and personalize it if desired. The ingot and coin are yours to take with you. Coin options available: Pirate Doubloon and the Jolly Roger from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, the John Wick Continental coin, and a Star Wars imperial Credit. If you don’t see a time or date that works for you on my schedule feel free to request one that works for you and we can get it on the calendar.

5.00My husband and I had an amazing experience taking Herbert’s class. Herbert is an expert teacher and would 100% recommend taking his class for anyone who’s interested in learning more about metals and that wants to experience creating your own metal made creation to take home with you. Thank you Herbert for teaching this class and allowing us to experience hands on creating with metals.
Great, fun learning...

5.00We were in town looking for activities off the beaten path in Clarksville, and found this experience. Bert was an amazing teacher. He walked us through every step of the aluminum casting process, turning a daunting task into a fun activity. Neither of us had any metalworking experience, but even a retired lady could form some good results!
Educational and interesting experience for the family

5.00I found the activity online when trying to find a unique experience. From start to finish it was such an interesting and educational experience. I am not in good health however the instructor ensured I was comfortable and was very accommodating so it made it a very pleasant experience. This is something I would recommend. My son is 13 and he enjoyed it. This is something that should be on everyone’s bucket list!
Simply AMAZING!!!!

5.001st, this class is no joke, it’s real and raw and you put the sweat into the product you take home. I last minute reserved the 5pm for my son and myself, I am from out of town just spending a 4day with my boy, this class is AMAZING, it’s knowledgeable, it’s fun, it’s real, it’s hands on all the way, this is a man’s man’s kind of thing (cool for women into it as well) but this is old/new school seriously cool, you learn about metals, techniques, pouring, impurities and ever important safety, this is the REAL deal, what an awesome instructor and a class, just zero negative things can be said, if your looking for something unique, fun, amazing, take a couple of hours and reserve this, you or whomever you gift this to WONT be disapointed, just the best 2hrs I’ve spent in a long long while, and bonus you get to walk away with an ingot of your own melting and cool stuff like a poured coin or symbol……seriously, this is a great bday, Father’s Day gift, this gentleman is the real deal and super relaxed to work with and learn from………don’t wait, don’t hesitate, don’t think, just reserve your appt………so fun and cool
Very cool and Fun!
