Donn Wagner is Lightning Creek Forge! He is an excellent instructor and mentor. He is top notch! He teaches his blacksmith skills in a simple and concise manner. Donn is safety oriented which is extremely important to follow instructions considering we work with high temperatures and tools. He is respectful and kind, but is not afraid to tell it like it is if someone is doing something wrong or dangerous. I have worked with metal for many years but I never truly had control over shaping metal into what I wanted it to be. Welding and building things is not the same as taking a raw piece of glowing red metal and pounding it into what you what it to be. A new found skill that I love. Learning from Donn, was a great experience for me and I will always be grateful for his instruction in blacksmith skills and also some life lessons learned along the way. Thank you Donn. I'll be back to finish working out the details with you for my new forge I am building. Respectfully, Michael

Donn is an excellent teacher for anyone interesting in learning the craft. He's exceptionally patient, and knowledgeable in all aspects of blacksmithing. He was also incredibly flexible in scheduling classes which was greatly appreciated for someone working a full time job. The friendly and warm atmosphere he provides made going to his classes an absolute joy. I would recommend anyone I know who wanted to learn this trade to Lightning Creek Forge.
I took a blacksmith class, and loved it! I have been wanting to try out blacksmithing for years now, and haven't found someone, so this was like a dream come true. He also is a great teacher, and I understood everything that he told me.
I went to his class knowing very little about blacksmithing and he opened my eyes to the craft of blacksmithing. He is an amazing, and very patient teacher. He knew when to help and when to let me learn on my own. I felt very welcomed by his presence. I recommend him to people who want to know how to blacksmith.
Donn is a true craftsman! His welding is beautiful.. he takes his time and is extremely knowledgeable. I believe his specialty is making high quality knives but I asked him to make furniture for me and his work was exquisite! His prices are very fair as well. I have told many of my firends about him when they coompliment me on the furniture he has made for me.
