Texas Blacksmithing Conference Class Jan 24th- Hand tools and Hand Forging

The Hand Tools and Hand Forging class is one that may be taken regardless of your level of skill or experience. This class focuses on the foundational “Principles of Forging” and how to think about forging in an efficient manner. The first half of the day will be spent making hand tools. Each student will leave with at least three hand tool, a slot punch, chisel, and fuller. We will cover the forging, basic grinding, and heat treating of these tools.
the second half of the day will be spent on some basic hand forging. This may include a horsehead bottle opener, or a leaf or flower key chain. This class focuses on the basics, but still has a very technical side to it that even the more experienced smith can gain from.
The hours of this class will be from 9:00AM-5:00PM. Only thing you need to bring is your preferred safety equipment, and water. Lunch will be provided. You must wear proper workwear. Leather closed toe shoes/boots, and all cotton clothing, and full length pants is required.
