Intro to Toolmaking: Chisel or Punch
Adirondack Folk School 51 Main St., Lake LuzerneBlacksmiths have always made their own tools and it's a skill every smith should know. This class will work with carbon steel to make a punch or chisel that will be hardened at the working end and soft at the striking end. Each student will leave with a usable tool and the understanding of how to create more. The details of metallurgy and hardening will be discussed in depth.
