This class will involve the basic utilization of the forge and proper use of the tools to produce the basis for all blacksmiths points, scrolls, and twist. No previous knowledge is necessary for this course; as such, it makes a wonderful starting point for students wanting to learn more from blacksmithing. This class will introduce students to the fundamentals of blacksmithing such as terms, tools, and proper procedures. The techniques that will be learned in this class will lead to the production of a stake or garden skewer.
