Getting medieval at Lawless Forge blacksmithing school - Field Trip Friday

In a gritty SoDo neighborhood, you'll find a school where pounding it out is a requirement.

SEATTLE, Washington — Team Evening jumped into a BMW X1 from the Seattle based rideshare service, ReachNow and headed over to Sodo and Lawless Forge.

Max Levi started Lawless Forge a couple of years ago. It was a complete departure from his old corporate world. 

"I have about seven years of experience working at both Amazon and Microsoft in IT sales and I decided I was not fit to sit behind a desk so I decided to start a blacksmith shop. The next natural step right?" said Levi.

Team Evening took a trip to Lawless Forge to get a taste of what welding is really like.

So essentially Max went from software to hardware. As hard as steel.

Blacksmithing begins with just pure muscle. You just have to hammer it and then it's all about craft. Eventually, you will have arms like Max's.
