SUMMARY:Introduction to Bladesmithing
DESCRIPTION:This class is taught by renowned instructor and the very first winner of History Channel’s Forged in Fire\, Matthew Parkinson. Students can expect to forge and finish one 4-6″ blade antler handled hunting knife\, using a gas forge. Topics covered will be working with high carbon steels\, knife design\, forging a blade to shape\, grinding\, finishing\, heat treating\, fitting a guard and attaching a handle. This class is intended as an introductory bladesmithing class\, but some forging experience is helpful. Also covered will be the design\, construction and finishing of a leather belt sheath. Students will learn how to make a pattern for the individual knife. Then they will cut out\, mold\, stitch\, dye and finish a leather sheath. Special attention will be given to the design of the sheath for good retention of the knife as well as holding up over time.

SUMMARY:Forging a Chef's Knife
DESCRIPTION:This class is taught by renowned instructor and the very first winner of History Channel’s Forged in Fire\, Matthew Parkinson. The chef’s knife is the most used knife in almost any home. These iconic knives help to create meals for family and loved ones. Well-made kitchen knives can last a lifetime and this class will give you the opportunity to create one of your very own. In this two-day class students will make their own chef’s knife from high carbon steel.  All aspects of bladesmithing will be covered\, from forging the blade to shaping\, then heat treating\, grinding and polishing\, making and fitting a wooden handle and finally\, sharpening – with very special attention given to the design and geometry of this kind of knife. This class is intended as an introductory bladesmithing class\, but some forging experience is helpful.

SUMMARY:Blacksmithing 102B: Using Jigs and Making Batches
DESCRIPTION:Hooks are one of the most useful things a new blacksmith can make. Russ started off making them as practice pieces but found that they get used wherever they end up. They are used in many projects\, and this makes them an excellent stepping stone for learning how to manufacture things in bulk. We will start by making hooks by hand with just the hammer and anvil. After that\, students will use various tools and jigs to speed up production. The goal is to produce 5 matching hooks. This class is intended for students who have taken a 101 class and understand the basics of forging and how to manage a coal fire.

SUMMARY:Blacksmithing 102C: Make Like a Tree
DESCRIPTION:Nature has been a source of artistic inspiration for thousands of years. Leaves have been a part of decorative blacksmithing for a long time\, and there are many different types of leaves one can make. This class is intended for students who have taken a basic/beginner class and who understand the basic techniques and concepts. We will start by making leaves with just the hammer and anvil\, and then begin using tools like chisels and decorative punches.

SUMMARY:Intro to Toolmaking
DESCRIPTION:Blacksmiths 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 and a chisel that will be hardened at the working end and soft at the striking end. Each student will leave with two usable tools and the understanding of how to create more.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Traditional Joinery
DESCRIPTION:Take that next step in your blacksmithing journey by learning traditional joinery work. The project is a fun\, simple forgiving project where students will learn several processes: traditional corners\, collars\, tenons\, rivets\, slitting/drifting\, beveled scrolls\, fish-tail scrolls and regular scrolls where you will also learn how to determine the lengths of steel required to achieve a finished dimension. Learning these processes will enable you to move forward to projects limited only by your imagination!
