About

It is said that it’s the simple things that make life enjoyable. It doesn’t get much simpler than opening a bottle of your favorite beverage with a bottle opener forged by you.

This project will teach you how to manipulate steel with fire in the forge, hammer, tongs, and anvil. Learn how to draw, taper, scroll, punch, drift, and upset material. This is a great class to learn new forging skills.

Details

A $25 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers everything you'll need.
