BLS101 Blacksmithing

Learn blacksmithing by going hands-on. You will learn how to forge the primary tools used in the blacksmithing trade; a punch, hammer and tongs. Students will learn the basics of steel selection, tool design and heat treatment and will apply their knowledge as they develop each tool. Forge welding, riveting and other traditional joinery methods will be integral to the finished work.

Students will learn the same blacksmithing techniques that are used to produce Damascus steel, tools, wrought iron, forge artwork and historic hardware.

Students require the following protective equipment:
• safety glasses they can wear all day
• earplugs or muffs that are comfortable
• steel-toed boots are preferred, but sturdy footwear will suffice
• welding gloves (loose fitting, gauntlet style)
• natural fibre clothing (jeans and a cotton t-shirt would work; no nylon or polar fleece).
