Hair Pin

Hair Pin — operator to upload photo

What you'll make

A forged steel hair pin. Drawn from round or square stock, with a single decorative terminal — leaf, scroll, spiral, or simple curl — and a polished smooth shaft that holds long hair without catching.

Choose your role

Watch or Buy

$65

I forge the pin and you take it home. Show up to watch, or order remote for delivery or shipping.

Assist

$85

You move the steel and help with the basic shaping. I handle the decorative terminal.

Lead

$125

You forge the piece. I coach. The pin 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

People with long hair who want a tool that's also an heirloom. Gift experiences. Couples making matching pieces (one each). Anyone who finds factory-made hair accessories a little soulless.

Logistics

1.5 hours. Closed-toe shoes and natural fibers required for Assist and Lead.
