Kdash Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 It was suggested to me here to find a class to get a good working foundation. I took two weekend classes at Tillers International, a non-profit organization near Kalamazoo Michigan and thought it was great. They covered alot of stuff I wanted to learn. The first weekend was blacksmith basics and gave me some insight into what I had been doing right and wrong. The following week was a high carbon knife blade class and they covered everything to make a tempered knife start to finish. The instructors were great. They really seem to love the work and teaching it to others. I would reccomend their classes to anyone interested in learning the basics. I have enclosed pictures of what we made.

anvil Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Excellent start! Make sure you keep them and note your improvement over time. I still have my first forged iron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
