Great product
Great product. Nice stainless steel flare segment for longer service life. I might have liked a one sheet info page guiding user to: A) check product before operation for assembly remain intact after shipping - my jets had shifted and off center - required recentering. B) recommend test firing in vice ... Explain adjustment of choke -- Direct consumer to your website where there's a nice video. C) Advise placement location and depth in forge.
You may also want to include plug for other products you have that may benefit user. I did go out And get LP.gas pressure gauge to compare flame burn to gas pressure ... Just education for myself. You may make these and fittings available to users.
I did talk to Mike once on some of these topics and he was very nice, very helpful. I'd definitely do business w them again.

My Swordsmith forge is very stout and efficient when using fire blocks. I hardened my with flux resistant refractory cement. I primarily use a single nozzle 80% of the time. Rather have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. My opinion of course. I’m so stoked to say a 7lb propane tank lasts me around 18-20 hours! A great forge all around and I would recommend Mathewson to any family and friends.

Poor communication, packaging and shipping coats
Poor communication. HORRIBLY packaged. Shipping costs were twice what I should have had to pay. The product itself is OK but the aspects of the transaction other then that were horrible.

The one thing that kept it from going to 5 stars is the lack of information about when the product was going to show up. Got a email saying it’s on the way but no tracking number. Or info when it was going to show up.

I definitely recommend Mathewson MetalSmith products
I definitely recommend Mathewson Metals. Shipping was quick, forge arrived in good condition, easy to assemble and operate. Doesn’t burn a lot of propane; a tank lasted me about 6 hours of forging at high heat. I bought the MetalSmith model. My only cautions are that it’s pretty small, so if you want the option of working on bigger projects you may want a bigger forge with a bigger door. Also, it’s a single burner, and I haven’t been able to achieve forging heat on mild steel.

My forge works beautifully
My forge works beautifully. I got it a little later than expected, but that was due to Covid shutdowns. I'm writing this review a little late because I had to get my shop set up to even get it working. Tested it with a rail spike and was able to draw the spike out 3 inches in record time. Only criticism would be that the insulation droops a little, but I'm sure that can be figured out on my end.

Good purchase.
Forge arrived in good condition only one bolt was bent. Lights easily, heats metal to working temp 10-15 minutes starting at 30°-40° ambient temp. Pleased with fuel usage, keep turning it down the longer it is on.

Good product and good people
Friendly and courtious. Produces a well-built quality product and offers personal assistance with any issues you might have.
Slow to ship though, and communication could be much better. I did not get a shipping update I was told I would receive.
But there is nothing that would prevent me from doing future business with this company.
