Luke March Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I took the blacksmithing I class at Tillers International this weekend. http://www.tillersinternational.org/blacksmithing/classes_310_blacksmithingI.html It went very well, the shop was excellent, 6 forges, 12 anvils, 2 large mandrels, 2 swage blocks, 8 post vises, etc. Here is what I made, (in order that I made it, from bottom right) Ring, three hooks, spoon, cold chisel, tongs, fire rake. Since I was the only one with previous experience, I went a little faster than some others, but for anyone new to blacksmithing, it was an excellent introduction.

NRunals Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Tillers is a very nice place to learn isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billd Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I took the class in September of 2009. I found it to be a great introductory class. I would highly recommend it. The location, on a working farm, was a bonus. When I was in Colonial Williamsburg the year before, the blacksmith recommended Tillers to me.
