SUMMARY:Blacksmithing 102D: Using Jigs and Making Batches
DESCRIPTION:Hooks are one of the most useful things a new blacksmith can make. They are used in many projects\, and this makes them an excellent stepping stone for learning how to manufacture in bulk. We will start by making hooks by hand with just the hammer and anvil. After that\, you will use various tools and jugs to produce 5 matching hooks. This class is intended for students who have taken a 101 class and understand the basics of forging and managing a coal fire.
