South Summit Blacksmithing Shop Milepost 54, Mt Hood Highway, Government Camp

(ADD number of ATTENDEES before hitting the "GET TICKETS" button)
The main project for this class will be making a simple blacksmith’s lock. This is not a complicated lock with wards and all, but a simple screw locking mechanism. Very traditional, though there is room to be as creative as you wish. This will involve some fairly simple blacksmithing, hacksaw work, drilling and tapping. Nothing too precise. If you’re willing to swing a hammer and use a saw, you can do this project.

Beginner Bladesmithing: Forging Knives to Shape-June 29, 2025

In this class we will be exploring the rudimentary hammer techniques used, step by step, to forge a knife blade to shape from scrap steels with very little use of a grinder. This class is centered around the clever techniques of ancient smiths melded with the minimal help of modern tools. Research the “Neo-Tribal Bladesmithing” movement and “Tai Goo” for more info on this philosophy and methodology.
