Get ready for a seriously fun, hands‑on forging adventure. Join expert Bladesmith & Blacksmith Aaron Meliza as he leads you through transforming a repurposed soap box derby car axle into a one‑of‑a‑kind forged bottle opener. This project is equal parts creative, nostalgic, and downright cool.

Whether you’ve never swung a hammer or you’ve been around the anvil a time or two, this workshop is built for all skill levels. You’ll heat, shape, twist, and finish your opener, learning foundational blacksmithing techniques along the way. By the end, you’ll walk out with a functional piece of metalwork that’s ready to crack open a cold one and spark conversation.
