December 7, 20178 yr I was wondering if anyone had any information on bladesmithing courses in Massachusetts. North shore area would be preferable.
December 7, 20178 yr A quick google search revealed this coming up soon: http://www.newenglandschoolofmetalwork.com/bladesmithing/index.php?page=beginner-bladesmithing-chopper-dec-11-14 It is up in Auburn, Maine, but its a several day course offered by a reputable school.
December 7, 20178 yr I strongly recommend the New England School. It is very well setup with equipment (two power hammers, two treadle hammers, hydraulic press, around 10 stations for either coal or gas forging and a good dozen 2 x 72 grinders from a good variety of manufacturers) and the instructors are knowledgeable and enthusiastic teachers. I recently took a class there with Nick Rossi and learned a bunch. Well worth attending if you are that close by (I think we had one student come all the way from Wisconsin for his second class there).
June 20, 20188 yr Also, Prospect Hill Forge in Waltham has an excellent three-day knifemaking class, where you will learn to do it without power tools. All coal forge, hammer, anvil, and file.
August 30, 20187 yr I take classes at Prospect Hill forge and Hammersmith studios. Fun classes, very informational!
