Learn to make the tools of the blacksmith trade.  Blacksmiths
throughout history have been the makers of tools for village life.
Before they could make tools for other trades they first needed to make all their own tools. This class will focus on the most fundamental of blacksmith tools, hammers and tongs.  We will start the class making a pair of tongs that will be used in making the hammer.  Steel selection, forging, heat treating of hammer heads, and attaching the handles will be covered.  As time allows, we will make other styles of tongs, center punches and chisels.  Come prepared to work hard and create with your hands.
