I’m wondering if people go up on Wednesday’s or Thursday’s (I’m also available in the mornings up until noon) and would be willing to teach me some things. I usually work in the afternoons and wouldn’t be able to come to most if not all of the beginner or other classes.
Well… All of the above. I want to make knives and other blades. But I have talked to Brad Sims, and he told me that if I want to learn to forge knives that I should learn to forge other things first. I have no problem with that but my ultimate goal are blades of various types. I would ultimately love to get into layered steel. I am literally a blank slate here.
Sounds like you need to get the Blacksmithing 101 class first.
@brsims any chance on getting these earlier in the day? I’m going to start being around quite a bit more in the near future if you need to train more teachers too.
I’ve been discussing things with @pilot.aaron via facebook for the last few days, and unfortunately, aside from maybe Sunday mornings for open forge, his and my schedules are pretty incompatible.
As for the knife specific stuff, I figured maybe @Troy_Barrios or @fender84 might be able to arrange to show him some basics.
