Meet the craftsman behind @lockjawknives and to our honor, the instructor of our upcoming Intro to Knife-making and Blacksmithing class, Tony Bones. Falling in love with the craft immediately, Tony founded Lockjaw back in 2013 in New Orleans while killing time due to a leg injury. His dedication and commitment to quality and funk is written all over his work, as you so obviously can see. First knife you see here features custom fish-scale resin (house-made by Tony) with a split-tail pommel and an eyeball pin. Handles crafted from G10 and Micarta. AEB-L stainless steel with an Amboyna Burl and G10 handle. Slim Belt Knife in emerald abalone. Tony working his magic! 🔪

September classes are hot off the iron 🔥 The much requested cutting board class is finally back along with blacksmithing and knife making 🔪🔪🔪

✨👀 We have some MASSive news to share with you: We’re moving!!! 📦🚛💖 🎉🥳🎉 After nearly 15 years in Castlebury Hill, we’re so happy to announce that MASS Collective has signed a lease with Lifecycle Building Center on the West side of Atlanta. Although we will miss Castlebury Hill dearly, this move has been a long time coming and is necessary for the healthy sustainability of MASS Collective. 🏘️✨ 💗Within LBC’s giant warehouse, MASS’ new home is a nearly 100 year-old showroom with beautiful, 1940’s-era architectural details. The relocation means more possibilities for all of us to build, learn and grow, side by side. 🪴 💖It’s such an exciting opportunity to bring new life to a historic space and we can’t wait to fill it with our creative energy! Our team is working hard to design the shop, clean, renovate and develop a long-lasting, symbiotic relationship with LBC. 💖 🌱This move is more than just a new space: it’s about planting roots that strengthen Atlanta’s arts community and honoring space for making while building something new together.🤝 👀We hope to be relocated by early April, but moving a makerspace and community workshop is no small feat. Bringing the new MASS Collective to life will take tons of resources! There are tools to move, ancient dirt to clean, and spaces to outfit. If you’ve learned, created, or found community at MASS Collective, we’d be honored if you’d consider supporting our move. We’ll need all the help we can get!🧹🤗🛻🧰 💖We’ll be sharing ways to contribute soon, whether through donations, volunteer time, or simply spreading the word.🗣️ 🙏Thank you for all your help in keeping MASS Collective’s heart beating. 💓 We couldn’t be more excited about what we will create together!🧱🔨👷👷‍♀️👷‍♂️⚒️💕 ✨Here’s to new spaces, old buildings, and the community that makes it all matter.💖
