Need a tool? Make a tool!
Much of the work that blacksmiths and metal artists do requires the use of specialized and custom tooling. Whether creating sculpture with hand held chisels or laying out and forming architectural joinery pieces, knowing how to make your own tools is an essential skill for the blacksmith. Punches, chisels, stamps, and tongs are the basis for this class.
Learn the process of working with high-carbon tool steel and the procedures of hardening and heat treating the material to make functional tools that will last.
