Healing Flames Forge Inc. We hope to be operational and start serving our target audience by the fall of 2021. When fully operational, we will instruct participants in blacksmithing, farrier work, metalworking, and related skills with the goal of providing a sense of accomplishment, mental and physical wellbein

g, preservation of an ancient art, and teaching skills that could be used to start one’s own business.***
Our target audience includes veterans, active-duty service members, first responders & frontline workers, wounded warriors, their family members and battle buddies, and others, especially those experiencing emotional strain from on-the-job experiences and life stressors. Healing Flames Forge Inc. is a blacksmith shop housed in a 900-square-foot pole barn on private property in Woodlawn, Tennessee. The company incorporated in December 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on local restrictions at the time of incorporation, shop size, program intent, and agreement with the Montgomery County Zoning Commission Board, HFF is limited to eight participants and two instructors per session (one instructor to four student smiths). We will continue to serve as long as participants enroll in the program. Two mentors (Rob Duane + one guest) mentor up to eight participants in 3- or 7-hour sessions in the shop on Saturday and Sunday. For those who wish to continue developing skills, the 4-hour afternoon session builds on instruction from the 3-hour morning session. After attending a full 7-hour session, student smiths may come back during "open forge" sessions to work on advancing their skills. A calendar will be populated on our website to show available periods for open forge sessions. Visit healingflamesforge.org (just like the smithy, our website is also "under construction". Please bear with us as we get this field of dreams built.
***There is NO COST to participants. All material, protective equipment, tools, and project stock will be provided by Healing Flames Forge.

Here's some photos from recent forge sessions. Comments embedded in pictures. Despite the heat, we're still making it happen --we just work shorter hours right now to beat the heat. Well, we kinda beat the heat, but not really. 🙂

Don't forget to vote for Healing Flames (every day until 12 August). 😊

I'm putting this on both my personal page and here on the Healing Flames Forge Inc page, hoping it gets a wide distribution and action.
First, to whomever nominated Healing Flames, THANK YOU! It means so much that someone out there thinks highly enough of what we do to nominate our tiny little nonprofit for Clarksville's Best.

Healing Flames Forge was nominated for Clarksville's best in three categories: Nonprofit Charities, Place to Work - Less than 100, and Veteran-Owned Business.

Being nominated is an honor in itself, and a great start, but we need votes, your votes! There's a QR code for voting. YOU CAN VOTE EVERY DAY, starting 29 July. Please do so, and please share.

Thank you in advance for everyone who takes the time to vote.

Here's a few more items I've been working on. The dagger is another piece of the cable-canister Damascus. It has oak handle scales with 3/16" copper pins. The other two are from the canister that I broke because I worked it too cold, so I cut it up and put the pieces in another canister. I like how it turned out the second time (we call it "canister squared"). The handle scales on them are made from a set of coasters I picked up for three bucks at Goodwill. The coasters say "Handcrafted in India" on the back. I have no idea what kind of wood it is (maybe sandalwood?), but I call it "Indian asswood" because it smelled like ass when I sanded it. They have 1/8" brass pins. I get to make the sheaths next.
