SUMMARY:Beginner Blacksmithing: Decorative Hooks and More - June 28\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:Learn some of the most utilized blacksmithing fundamentals from Joe Vachon (joetheblacksmith.com)\, a self-employed blacksmith and bladesmith since 2007\, and the Season 6\, Episode 27\, Forged In Fire Champion\, in this 1 day\, hands-on course. Safety\, body mechanics\, tools\, and the working properties of hot steel will be addressed\, as well as various techniques\, such as: tapering\, scrolling\, twisting\, bending\, drilling\, punching\, hot cutting\, flat peening\, upsetting\, and shouldering. Students will start out practicing the basics with the forging of a few decorative hooks for the first half of the class. During the second half of the class\, folks are welcome to practice making more hooks or create something of their choosing with their newfound skill-set\, such as (but not limited to) a fire poker\, meat turner\, door handle\, dinner bell\, letter opener\, necklace pendant\, or an experimental piece. \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).

SUMMARY:Beginner Bladesmithing: Forging Knives to Shape-June 29\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:Forge 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 30 MINUTES BEFORE CLASS IS SCHEDULED SO EVERYONE CAN GET SET UP. \n  \nSELECT NUMBER OF TICKETS NEEDED THEN “GET TICKETS”
