Blacksmithing Experience
Description
An intro to blacksmithing and what it takes to turn raw steel into a working tool/ decorative piece. A 4-hour session that covers the basics while leaving with pieces forged by you.
We will cover the main techniques used in blacksmithing; Upsetting, Drawing, Tapering, Bending, and Punching. With these skills, we will make a bottle opener; a great practice piece, and a great practical take home. For our main piece, we will forge either a fire poker or an item of your choice within reason.
