Is this the one in Robert? I tried to get into this workshop and they had just filled the last slot, I was pretty bummed about it.

[@derekmelton]

Yeah, they tend to fill up spots fairly quickly. My advice to anyone wanting to get into the one that they will likely have in the fall would be to save up money and be ready to commit when it's announced. It's well worth it.

[@johndoby]

@@derekmelton Yeah, I didn't even know it existed. Dustin Hearst told me about it and I tried to sign up the same day, but they had filled the last slot the day before I think. I hope to make it to the next one. I'm new to blacksmithing so there's a lot that I probably need before a powerhammer, but I'm afraid if I wait, the workshop won't be around when I'm ready.

What is the cost to go and make the hammer

[@johndoby]

@@NZMOPAR The cost fluctuates with material cost, but the last one was right around $3k. The next one will likely be more.
