Knife blade forging.

Description

Come and forge a knife blade. On this day you will take a piece of old car spring and heat it to nearly a thousand degrees on a charcoal forge and learn how to shape it into a knife blade using hammer and tongs. Matt will take you through the journey of making a knife. From rough shaping on the anvil, to grinding the shape, heat treating to make a hard durable blade and onto a final sharpen. There will be an option to add a pre-made handle to your blade at the end of the day at an extra cost of £40 or you can buy the bits and pieces and fit it at home. There may be as many as 6 people on this course. This course is taught outside under canvas. A lunch of soup and bread is provided. 9.30 am till 4.30pm

We have been teaching traditional crafts for over 25 years. In our everyday we use both the areas of greenwoodwork and blacksmithing to inspire our students, both young and old. We believe that craft making is a revolutionary act both personally and within society and have used teaching as a way to connect people to lost heritage alongside working with excluded adults to reconnect with their own personal power. Craft is also a great deal of fun.
