Belt Clip

What you'll make

A simple, functional steel belt clip. Forged from round stock, drawn to a working point, scrolled and shaped to grip a belt without snagging. The kind of piece you'll actually use, made in an afternoon.

Choose your role

Watch or Buy

$65

I forge the belt clip and you take it home. Show up to watch the work and learn what's happening at each step, or order it remote and I'll deliver or ship.

Assist

$85

You handle the steel under my direction — moving it from forge to anvil, holding tongs, learning hammer placement. I do the precision work; you do enough to feel the craft.

Lead

$125

You forge the piece. I coach. The clip is yours, made by your hands.

Where it happens

The forge comes to you. Backyards, AirBnB driveways, brewery yards, ranch properties, parks — anywhere with about 16x13 of outdoor space and 15 feet of clearance from buildings. Travel within 15 miles of Greeley included; further distances quoted by trip. Shipping at customer cost; local delivery within 15 miles included.

Best for

Total beginners. People curious about smithing without a multi-hour commitment. Gift experiences (the recipient takes the Lead role). Anyone who wears a belt and wants something on it that they made.

Logistics

1.5–2 hours per session. Closed-toe shoes and natural fibers required for participants in the Assist or Lead role. Ages 12+ for Lead role; younger welcome for Watch with parental supervision.

Send the project, your preferred role, dates that could work, and anything else relevant. I'll come back within 24 hours.
