The blacksmithing committee has been asked a number of times to teach a knife making class. I’ve just put up a class on the schedule on 1/24/23 to make a knife out of a RR spike using the same tools we use to make and teach a chisel making class. This includes the induction forge, the hydraulic press and the KMG grinder. (Normally we teach the cutoff saw, too so we will be cutting some band saw blade steel to make another kind of knife, but we will NOT be making the band saw blade knife in class. Just getting familiar with the cutoff saw.).
These are the details on the class. It is a $10 class. You will be given a RR spike at the start of class.
It should appear on the calendar in plenty of time to fill up.
I will likely be teaching this class every Tuesday night EXCEPT when we have our blacksmithing committee meetings which are also on Tuesday.
At the end of the class you’ll be qualified to use the tools in the blacksmithing shop anytime you like.
