Blacksmith 101class

I followed up my intro class from July with a 101 class in August at the “DIY Cave” in town. The project this time was wall hooks to learn a number of new techniques in shaping metal.   Couple more pics of the transformation/shaping process.  

Blacksmithing intro

Today I took a 2 hour intro to blacksmithing class a place in town called the DIY cave. We have been there a few times before including one of hunters birthday building camp chairs (https://blog.donaldsoncrew.org/hunters-13th-birthday-party) and an intro  to welding (https://blog.donaldsoncrew.org/diy-cave-welding-class) class with the boys. 

The project today to get is started in learning different hammer techniques was a bottle opener.

Here is a picture of me with my two other classmates and a video of the opener in action.
