About the Event
Students will learn basic blacksmith techniques such as a mortise and tenon joint, a forge weld, an upset, a square and a round taper, a twist, and how to slit and drift a hole.
Projects throughout the workshop may include a hot-cut chisel, decorative hook, and BBQ tool.
Each step of the way, David will describe what will be done next, give a demonstration, then supervise as students do the process themselves. This workshop is designed to give you a successful start.
Each workshop is limited to four students, which provides a personal teaching atmosphere not found in most blacksmith schools. Each student will share a gas forge with one other student and their own anvil to work with. All tools and materials are provided; you will make some of your first tools!
The workshop includes 3 days of instruction and lunch each day.
Classes start at 8:30 each morning,…
