Welcome to Season 11even at the Wadkin Temple — not a place of quiet prayer, unless your religion involves vintage cast iron woodworking machinery, fine sawdust, and the occasional shop dog. The high priest himself, Jack Forsberg, isn’t about incense and chants—it’s all about #coolshit, Wadkin cast iron and Rust Junkies. I hope you can make it, I just need to know who’s coming. Please fill out the registration form to let me know. †

The Wadkin Temple
Take a tour of the Wadkin Temple for yourself. Be careful, some have been known to become part of the clergy and have the titles to prove it 🙂
“I love hearing from you!” JF
Not many people get to experience having their renovation or restoration dreams come true let alone designed and built by FORSBERG at the helm.
Jack loves hearing from people like you! Have you got a project that needs a Craftsman’s attention or have you lost trust with the poor quality of the big box stores? Or maybe you already know that quality workmanship and material are simply better and you’re looking to just get it done. Either way, drop Jack a message here and start a new conversation.

Pricing & Plans
Cost is always Key
Whether it’s custom cabinets, fine woodworking, windows, doors, heritage restoration or a modern renovation, everyone thinks that quality costs more…and generally that is true. But… you’ll be pleasantly surprised how affordable customs and quality come together with good design and experience. Let’s chat… It won’t cost you a dime!
