SUMMARY:A Taste of the Forge
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to try blacksmithing\, and get a taste of the craft? Join instructor Steve Gurzler for 3 weekday evenings to learn how to operate a coal forge to bring metal to incandescent heat and shape it with hammer in hand. This class will use the Artist Blacksmiths Association of North America (ABANA) curriculum to teach the basics of blacksmithing. Students can expect to create 2 or more projects during the 3 evenings. Class size is limited to ensure all can advance at their own pace. Students should be high school age or older. Parents must accompany children under the age of 18.

SUMMARY:Sheepsfoot Knife and Marlin Spike with Sheath
DESCRIPTION:In this class you’ll learn to forge a knife featuring a sheepsfoot blade with a paracord wrapped handle\, crafted from mild steel and hardened using super quench. The sheepsfoot blade\, known for its straight edge and rounded tip\, is ideal for clean controlled cuts without the risk of accidental punctures- perfect for slicing rope or working on confined spaces. You’ll also forge a marlin spike; a pointed metal tool designed to separate rope strands and untie stubborn knots. It’s an essential tool for sailors and anyone who works with lines\, and it’s especially useful when splicing multi-stranded ropes. To complete the set\, we’ll make a belt sheath from vegetable-tanned cowhide\, custom-fitted to hold both tools securely. This practical combo is a must-have for nautical enthusiasts and outdoorsmen alike.
