Working through Ted Tucker's book:

We'll be working our way through Ted Tucker's book of smithing projects and make as many as we can in the eight meetings.
The instructor will choose a few to get started with, and after that class input will be welcomed. It may be that the class does not work in projects in unison.
It's likely that we'll stop to make specialized tools as needed.
We have copies enough for each student to work from.

ISBN 0-87857-312-7 hardcover
ISBN 0-87857-294-5 paperback

Note: At this time, Ted is still unaware that this class is a thing. So he hasn't endorsed it...yet.

Gift Certificates for Working through Ted Tucker's book: are available.

Prerequisite:

Yes, really, we're still asking for it in 2025.
It's still out there, and no fun at all.

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.
