At Knots and Knives I aim to provide a fun, safe and unique
experience for you to enjoy! With the beginners forging class you are offered 3
different items to forge and take home - a knife, a bottle opener, or a
barbecue fork. You will begin with a standard railroad spike and leave with a
one of a kind, practical, hand made item
that you created!
You will be trained in many aspects of forging/metalworking.
Including the basics of metallurgy and what happens when you heat up and cool
down metal, how to draw out, bend, twist, drift and finish metal. Also covered
are the fundamental skills of how to swing a forging hammer, and how to use
many tools including high power belt sanders, grinders, anvils, and many
others.
Forging can be enjoyed by people of any age! But do keep in
mind that you will be in a high heat environment and be using muscles that a
lot of people don’t often use. I will be there to assist in any way I can and
will do my best to have all customers leave with a finished product. Pricing is $80 per person with 4 people attending, $90 per person with groups of 3 and $100 per person for 2 people. Payment can be made via cash or check day of event or online payments ahead of time are welcome as well. If time allows there is a 15ftx15ft axe throwing area as well that will be available with many types of axes and hatchets. For private events and parties greater then 4 please contact ahead of booking. Thank you!
