Forging Furnace

Forging FurnaceSo youve got some blacksmithing tricks up your sleeve now take your tinkering to your backyard and build your own gas furnace. A gas furnace will allow the budding smith to hone their skills and is an essential part of a home forge. These furnaces can be used for blacksmithing, heat treating, non ferrous casting work and for making Damascus steel. In our intensive one day course, Matt Mewburn will show eager smiths how to build and test a gas forging

Handles are shaped and then glued before lunch

This 4 day workshop will take participants through the process of making a Damascus Steel Wrapped Axe–an object that is as beautiful as it is functional

Following this we need to heat treat the hammer
