Whew y’all… it may be humid enough out here in Mount Olive to swim through the air 😂☀️ but we are all set up at Mount Olive Mercantile and still havin’ an absolutely wonderful day with some really awesome folks 🖤🛠️ The forge is hot, the laughs are flowin’, and we’re just grateful to be here!

While Joe may be hotter than the hinges of hell out here in this Magnolia heat, he’s been having an absolute BLAST teaching classes all weekend 🔥⚒️🤣
Seeing folks of all ages step up to the forge, swing a hammer, and make something with their own two hands never gets old. The smiles, laughs, sparks, and “LOOK WHAT I MADE!” moments make every drop of sweat worth it.
Y’all have kept these classes rockin’ nonstop and we are beyond grateful for every single person that’s come out to hang with us at Bare Metals Forge ❤️🔥

What a fabulous day here in Magnolia ❤️🔥
We’ve still got a ways to go today, but we are absolutely loving all the amazing people we’re meeting, the conversations we’re having, and all the forge classes happening nonstop ⚒️😊
Days like this remind us exactly why we do what we do. Thank y’all for making us feel so welcome already!

Me & Joe are officially headed to the Magnolia Festival and ready to sling sparks, make memories, teach some classes, and probably survive entirely on gas station snacks and stubbornness.
If you’re coming out this weekend, come find Bare Metals Forge⁠� — we’ll have handmade goods, free forge classes, laughs, and likely at least one “well that wasn’t supposed to happen” moment. 🔥⚒️

The last two days at Bare Metals Forge have been an absolute blast working with Michael Phelps out of North Little Rock!
This guy has been out here putting in WORK at the forge — learning fast, swinging hammers, making tools, and turning raw steel into some seriously awesome pieces. From practical forge tools to some fun creative projects, it’s been incredible watching his skills grow over just a couple days.
These are the kinds of classes that remind us exactly why we do this. Good people, hard work, fire, steel, laughter, and learning something with your own two hands.
We’re proud of you, Michael, and grateful you came out to spend time at the forge with us. Can’t wait to see where your blacksmithing journey takes you from here! 🔥⚒️

Alright y’all, we’re in a bit of a bind.
Our help for this weekend had to back out last minute, and we are now needing dependable help for our event in Magnolia tomorrow through Sunday. It’s a pretty far trip south for us, and this is a BIG weekend with classes, demos, setup, teardown, running the booth, and keeping things flowing.
If you’ve ever wanted to come hang with Bare Metals Forge⁠� behind the scenes, learn some hands-on stuff, help with events, or just be part of the chaos and fun — now’s your chance. 😂
We need someone reliable, hardworking, and able to handle long days in an event environment. Bonus points if you’re good with people, can help keep classes organized, or don’t mind getting a little dusty and sweaty.
Please message us ASAP if interested or if you know someone trustworthy that may want to go. We’d deeply appreciate the help right now more than y’all know. ❤️
