About this class

It can be gratifying to work with a tool that you made yourself. That's true for many blacksmiths, and it can be true for you as well. We will guide you through making your own forging hammer in the 'rounding' hammer style. The hammer will be heat-treated and fitted with a handle, ready to use for your next class, open shop day, or in your shop at home.
