Blacksmith seminar has been moving along with only a few minor hitches. So far, the class has learned to make traditional nails from square 1/4 and 5/16 inch mild steel stock, fullering, upsetting and tapering, fabricating hot punches from salvaged steel and punching hot metal. This coming session we will learn some twisting techniques and elementary scroll work. The class will be moving to using the coal forge rather than the gas. The coal forge will present challenges not seen in the gas device; steel will burn in the coal forge and participants must learn to judge steel temps from the hot colors.
