A Message from Chris
For several years now Lion Punch Forge has partnered with Vivi Magoo to provided funding and advertising sponsorship.
I want to acknowledge how rough it was last year for many of us as small makers and business owners. Accompanying that acknowledgment, I want to give my heart felt reminder that you are not alone. We all feel the economy and especially metal prices. As a Business, Lion Punch Forge is dedicated to support, promote, educate, and assist the maker.
