About

If you enjoy gardening and appreciate good tools, then imagine using a set of gardening tools you created at the forge with hammer and tongs. This class will guide you, step by step, so you can do just that while learning basic blacksmithing skills. It's also a great project to hone whatever skills you already have. Tools such as this made with your loving hands will make a wonderful gift, too.

This is a great way to learn proper forging techniques, hot shop safety, and blacksmithing basics.
