About this class
The ubiquitous object you can forge from a railroad spike, second only to the throwing tomahawk (we do that too in a different class). In this one-day class, students will forge and grind a knife from a railroad spike. Safe shop practices and proper hammer techniques will be covered in this class. All materials, supplies, and safety gear will be provided.
