肯特和雪儂奈普帶著六個孩子，經營一間密爾瓦基鐵舖，從銀行金庫到腳踏車的腳架，沒有什麼是他們打造不出來的。他們是密爾瓦基數一數二的好。肯特對於兒子即將繼承衣缽趕到焦慮。儘管他們具有足夠技能，還是有很多需要學習。對於事情要怎麼完成，大家都有自己的想法。對肯特而言，打鐵是他畢生熱情，但追求夢想可不是那麼好玩，身為父親、丈夫和管理者的壓力，重重地壓在他的肩上。當家中的生計都仰賴鐵舖的生意，要保持穩定的客源，讓人一刻不得停歇。為了要讓收支平衡，肯特和雪儂讓他們的孩子在鄰里間一展專長及辛勤工作的態度，用以交換商品。
Kent and Shannon Knapp own and operate Milwaukee Blacksmith along with their six kids. From bank vaults to bike frames, there's nothing this family can't forge - they're the best in Milwaukee, and Kent is anxious for his sons to step up and carry the business into the future. But skilled as they are they still have a lot to learn, and they all have different opinions on how things should be done. For Kent, blacksmithing is his life's passion, but following the dream isn't all fun. The stresses of being a father, husband, manager and boss all at the same time weigh heavily on him; the nature of a blacksmith's business is feast or famine, and when your entire family is dependent on one business, there's constant pressure to maintain a steady flow of clients. In order to make ends meet, Kent and Shannon put their kids' skills and hard work ethic to good use in the neighborhood, trading their work for goods and services.
