About

This is our Blog Page related to all things VW Vanagon

With over 20 years experience and working on literally HUNDREDS of VW Vanagons, Craig’s got a lot of experience and we’re excited to share some resources with you! If you’re here for entertainment, we’ve got that on the YouTube side! If you’re here for specific mechanical tutorials, product reviews, links, etc- we’ve got that here as well!
And if there’s something you don’t find here, be sure to reach out- let’s fix that, together! (This aspect of the website is very new, so please- let me know what you’d like to see!)

Don’t forget to support our main purpose and business- a super cool hands on blacksmithing school in Pittsburgh PA! We offer a variety of in-person classes ranging from Beginner Blacksmithing, Intro to Welding, Knife Making, and a super cool “Make Your Own Ring” program that attracts folks from around the world! We also make and ship a variety of goods. If you want to show some support directly for Vanagon related things and to keep the channel alive, the dream alive, the hobby alive, and the content flowing- you can contribute directly in a variety of ways. We’re hoping to have a cool set of links here soon where you can just send $10, 25, 50, or $100 contributions via gowesty gift cards, banking the funds for future projects (We need parts to make these projects happen!) or directly to a PayPal account, but that crap hasn’t been set up yet.
It takes time and effort, and i’ll get to it.
In the meantime- just send me an email.
Email me at Thebarefootforge@gmail.com and say “hey, thanks” or “This was helpful” or “I love the YouTube videos- how can I give you $100?” and i’ll get back to you with some easy ways to make all of our dreams come true.
