SUMMARY:Beginner Bladesmithing with Joe Vachon: Forging Knives to Shape-September 21\, 2025 9am-1pm
DESCRIPTION:***PLEASE NOTE: Ticket sales will close on September 15th. If you miss the deadline\, email us at blacksmithing@cascadiaart.org and we will see if we can fit you in*** \nForge your own knife with simple tools with Joe Vachon (joetheblacksmith.com)\, a self-employed blacksmith and bladesmith since 2007\, and Season 6\, Episode 27\, Forged in Fire Champion\, in this 1 day\, hands-on course. \nIn 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. \nYou can expect to learn how to forge a point on the end of a bar\, flatten your blade to its final thickness with a distal taper\, create a counter-bend\, forge your bevels\, shape an all-steel handle\, clean up your work with a file and/or small grinder\, heat treat by eye\, and sharpen on a stone. \nWe will start by using mild steel for a practice knife\, then move up to high carbon steel to help your progression as a novice smith. We will also inevitably be discussing and demonstrating what goes into proper heat treating and learn about various types of blade geometry and their applications. \nWhat to wear/safety equipment : \n-Cotton pants and long sleeved shirt (synthetics are potentially flammable). \n-Leather boots (NO open toed sandals/shoes-tennis shoes are not recommended for safety). Make sure your pants fit over the tops of your boots so nothing hot can fall in. \n-Safety glasses\, ear plugs\, and a dust mask. Long hair must be tied back. \n-Leather gloves to protect your hands and a notebook to take notes. \n-Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated\, and snacks if you want. \nPLEASE PLAN TO ARRIVE 5 MINUTES BEFORE CLASS IS SCHEDULED SO EVERYONE CAN GET SET UP. \n  \nSELECT NUMBER OF TICKETS NEEDED THEN “GET TICKETS”
