The Old Way of Tool Making – advanced blacksmithing workshop for those with previous beginner blacksmithing skills
This class will teach students how to identify the suitability of found steel for making tools as well as the process of shaping, heat treating, and tempering the final product. We will discuss the metallurgy of tool steels and how to identify the approximate hardness of the finished tool. Students will leave with at least one finished tool they can use in their shop. We will also cover a basic introduction to forging blades and edged tools.
$80.00 per participant and all tools are provided — pants, long-sleeve shirts, and boots/closed-toe shoes required. Participants may pay the workshop fee prior to the start of this class.
Space is limited.
Prerequisite: Students must have taken an introductory class in blacksmithing at Pioneer Museum. Exceptions may be made based on prior experience.
