Damascus Forging Class
Time to get your hands dirty and let the sparks fly. Take the chance to forge your own piece of Pattern welded Damascus steel to take home with you. A great way for increasing your skill set and deliving in to the world of bladesmithing. O
The day will be spent working on the gas forge selecting steels, firewelding, twisting, pressing and possibly using the power hammer to draw out a suitable billet that can then be turned in to a product at a later date.
Damascus billets are typically used to make, Wedding rings, Knives, Swords, Cutlery, Sculptures, Jewlery and various other items.This 1 day class will cover all of the steps and processes in making a pattern welded billet large enough to turn in to a kitchen knife.
#There is only enough time on the class to make a single billet, this can then be combined with one of our one or two day classes to forge it in to a finished product should you wish.
#You will not make a blade on the damascus class.
