I would love to give them a higher rating, and most likely will when we get our forge, but it has been 16 days and counting and still no forge. Additionally they need a contact phone number if they a... See more

Over 2 weeks and still no forge

I would love to give this a good review if I ever get it. It's been about 2 weeks now. (Ordered on the 13th). I have sent emails with no response and when I try to call I get some guys voicemail telling me not to leave a voicemail. Shipping was over $100, this is crazy. It is 2019 right? Is this thing coming on horse and buggy? If I would have known this I would have shopped elsewhere.

New forge.

Took a while to get my forge, but when I did, was packaged very well. Was very pleased with the construction, fit and finish, but haven’t got to use it yet. I will leave another review after I have used it.

I can't say enough about their responsive, thoughtful and thorough customer service. I emailed a question and within 10 minutes I received a telephone call and my question was resolved.
The forge itself is excellent!

Great burners

I have used Mathewson burners in brick pile and propane shell construction forges. Overall quality is consistently good, the burners are easy to tune to different applications, and run well over a wide range of pressure settings.

Recieved my forge very quick

Recieved my forge very quick. The forge is built so good. A video was offered on their website to help me use my forge properly. I am very pleased with my forge. Thank you Mathewsons

Works well for forging in my small single burner forge. Only had to adjust the orifice as it was noticeably crooked. Otherwise it fired up well without any other adjustments. Very happy with it.

My Small Brute Tank

The one burner forge I ordered is a small heavy duty forge that will heat and do the job like a beast! You want quality and something that’ll last? This thing is built like a brute tank and should last many years and many uses. Thank you Mathewson Metals, i’ll recommend you to anyone interested in this line of work/hobby.

Atrocious shipping

Hopefully the forge lives up to the hype when it arrives, atrocious shipping. I placed an order on Feb 6, according to the shipping policy on their website it should have shipped that Friday. A label was not created until the 13th, however the product still did not ship until the 20th, I was told due to inclimate weather. Travking now tells me to expect it on tbe 27th. A ridiculous amount of time in this day and age. This company did not adhere to their shipping policy.

Better off going elsewhere

Not only did my order not ship when I was told it was shipped. On top of that it is now 2 weeks since I ordered it and still waiting. Opened a case about it. Mathewson metals has been no help during this ordeal. I am VERY unhappy about my order!

This burner is a beast

This burner is a beast! It will put out the heat you need and then some. Ten minutes in my home made melting furnace and I was ready to pour aluminum from a # 4-6 crucible. Recommended for anyone who melts scrap or builds a forge for bladesmithing.
