About This Activity
Note: This course is open to students who have previously completed the Introduction to Blacksmithing class. Using traditional hand hammered blacksmithing techniques over a coal burning forge students will forge a basic set of tools for the forge. Initial projects include a fire rake, slot punch, hammer eye drift, and blacksmith hammer. Additional projects will be offered as time permits. Materials will be discussed in the first class; fuel for the student’s forge as well as mild and tool steel for planned projects are provided by the studio. Students will need to wear 100% natural fiber flame retardant fibers like cotton or wool. No synthetic fibers or blends. Long sleeve shirts and pants that cover tops of footwear. Footwear must be leather or cotton canvas shoes that fully enclose feet.
