Intermediate blacksmithing techniques
- 200 US dollars$200
- The Yard on Santa Fe
Service Description
INSTRUCTOR: Ashe This class will test your eye for movement and multi tasking as we tie two different knots in steel to create a double sided J-hook. Students will have the chance to design certain elements of their hooks before we start forging. We will be creating a hook using two separate pieces of metal that will both need to be tapered, and then a basic over hand knot will be tied on either end of one piece, and the other piece will need to be decorated as seen fit. Once this has been accomplished, we will bend each piece in half, leaving an opening, and will create a square knot with them. This knot will be tightened by hammer blows before fully shaping the hooks. Finally, we will punch holes through the steel for hanging the hook. LEVEL: Intermediate PRE-REQUISITES: Blacksmith 101 or skills test (discuss with Ashe) OPEN STUDIO QUALIFIER: N/A DURATION: 4 hours (approx.) CAPACITY: 6 people AGES: 14+
