Tent Stakes A chance to make good solid tent stakes. This is sort of a focused Open Shop* time. The main intent will be to make, you guessed it, tent stakes. We have four coal forges, so that many people (or groups) can be working at once. Bring your own stock or buy some from us, we have 1/2" square, 3/8" square & round on the rack. Techniques: drawing-out, cutting,and bending. Minor coaching on form and technique will be available. Some prior experience necessary, either one of our classes, or the ability to demonstrate that you can do the job with safety to you, others, and the tools. Some protective gear is available. If you're bringing a group you may need to bring some of your own eye and ear protection. We have aprons enough to protect two people per forge. A signed waiver will be required for participation. Wear closed-toe shoes and natural fiber clothing you're willing to get dirty and sweaty* in. Pants should come down over the tops of your shoes. Fee: $25/hour *If you really want to make something else while everyone else is making tent stakes, feel free, you can do as you please with your forge time. Friday July 25 6:30 - 9:30pm Email ahead to reserve forge time for however long you expect to need it. |
