Blacksmithing is a heritage skill that has existed for millennia. Now it's your chance to learn how to work the "black metals" (iron and steel), and here's the wildest part, our hands-on class is happening completely off the grid.Learn to work metal with a hammer and forge, and make something really special. No propane. No power tools. No experience required. We'll show you all of our tricks and tips to set up your own forge and start working. Whether you plan to build a forge in the backwoods or in your own backyard, you'll be amazed at the minimal amount of gear it takes to start smithing, and you'll love our "dirt cheap" method of building a forge.
Our blacksmithing class will cover the basics of safety and smithing, and make a steel knife, plus several other items.
The subjects of this class include:
• Forge safety
• Building your own forge
• Sourcing abundant local fuels and their suitability to different tasks
• Hammer techniques (you won't believe all you can do with just a hammer!)
• Sourcing safe metal (some scrap metal gives off deadly fumes)
