Begin to learn the ancient art and science of the blacksmith. Paul will walk you through four of the basic skills of forging; drawing, upsetting, twisting, and punching which can be combined to create thousands of simple blacksmithing projects. You will then heat and hit some steel! Gain the knowledge and confidence to take your first step towards becoming a blacksmith in this 1 day course. This is not a knife or sword making course but it is the first step towards learning those skills in the future.
