A three-or-so hour session wherein we put stuff in the smithy to rights.
We'll tweak tongs, straighten, re-temper, and sharpen punches and chisels, tighten and wax hammer handles, de-rust rusty tools, replace broken ones...

3-or-so hours.
If you want to show up early, work it out directly with Carl.    dates&times

Instructor: Carl West
There is no fee per se, your work is your payment for whatever you might learn... if you happen to bring a little something for during or after, that'd be ok... per student
Class size is negotiable

Please wear proper clothing for visiting or working in the forge:
- closed top shoes
(Preferably leather, preferably high-topped. Sneakers are sufficient... but sandals, crocs, pumps, mules... are not. If you can see the skin of your foot, or the foot of your socks, it's not good enough.)
- natural fiber clothing
(Synthetics are a risk because: IF a HOT thing touches them it's likely that the material will melt and stick to your flesh, making the burn even worse than it would be through a natural fiber.)
- long pants that cover the tops of the shoes.
(To keep hot coals and bits of steel from getting down into your shoes. Which I hear is a bunch of No Fun.) Click here for more safety information.
