Jeverett02 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I was wondering if anyone had any information on bladesmithing courses in Massachusetts. North shore area would be preferable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will W. Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 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.

Latticino Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 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).

Cavpilot2k Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
