During this workshop, students will start with junkyard steels and learn how to forge and heat treat — the blacksmith way! Discussions and demonstrations will focus on basic tooling for a home forge, and participants will experience the process of making punches, chisels, and hammers – all essential blacksmithing tools!

This is an intermediate-level workshop: we highly encourage those interested in this class to have previously taken a Blacksmith Foundations workshop with Cloverdale Forge.
