Weekly Zoom Demonstration and Social Time (not reeellly a class)
Watching Smithing and Hanging Out

Each week on Wednesday, there's a Zoom call that starts at 7:30 Eastern with a bit of chatting and at 8pm the demonstration begins.
Typically it's Carl working through some aspect of a project, sometimes it's something he's solid on and knows what to say when, and sometimes you get to watch and hear him figure it out on the fly.
Some find that entertaining too.
And sometimes he takes a request from the audience.

So far the demos have been (not in any order):

Most demonstrations last between 30 and 60 minutes and are framed-up as lessons.
We have a cantilevered camera rig that allows us to give better views of
what's going on than are generally available in live in-person classes,
and a second camera for showing the smith's posture and placement.
Demonstrations are live and questions are welcomed.

We are recording the demonstrations to be edited only as much as necessary to put up on YouTube.

Click here to go straight to the meeting (only works during the time mentioned above). Coming in late is fine.

Note: During the demo, attendees are asked to turn off their cameras,
and if there's background noise, their microphones.
This way the views from the smithy can be as large as possible on everyone's screens and distracting noise is minimized.

If you register for the class (below), time allowing, you will receive an email at 12:05am Thursday morning reminding you about this auspicious occasion.
The email will also offer advice about what to wear and try to point you to our Online Waiver, which you are welcome to execute, but that's up to you.
