Hammerspace Community Workshop and Makerspace

In this fun and foundational class we will be forging square tapers, practicing our drawing out technique, developing general hammer control and learning to use anvils in synergy with your hammer strikes.

We will also be learning make a simple scroll and a twist pattern.

Our goal is to create unique steel skewers for roasting treats over a fire or holding a hot strip of searing hot meat safely away from your fingers.

You should wear closed toe shoes, and bring a refreshing beverage to combat the heat of the forge.

This blacksmithing class is suitable for ages 13 to adult.
Price:$75

NEW 2-DAY CLASS!
In this class we will be making a beautiful and useful knife for kitchen or field use.

On day one, we will create the steel portion of our knives.

We will start with 1084 tool steel at 5/32" thick and 1.5 x 10 inches long. We will be sawing and grinding our profiles and beveling using belt grinders.

Then we will drill, sand and polish our knives to prepare them for heat treating and tempering.

Once heat treating is done, we will put our knives in the tempering oven and class will be dismissed for the day.

On day two we will focus on creating handles for our new blades.

We will be using a combination of wood and resin parts to make our handles and pin them in place with brass pins and epoxy.

The next steps will be to shape and polish the wood and resin handles, and finally sharpen our new knives.

This is a 2-day class from 11 am until 3:30 to 4:00 p.m. each day.

Feel free to bring or order snacks or beverages.
