Forging Tongs Workshop
Instructor: Greg AmEnde
Adult Campus
open to all levels
October 18 - October 19
Saturday, Sunday, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

In this workshop, students will learn the basic techniques of forging blacksmiths’ tongs. Every smith needs and being able to make and adjust tongs to fit the needs of the work is important. We will go through the basic process and explore different jaw styles that will enable you to hold multiple projects and stock configurations: flat, round, square and irregular pieces. This class will teach students the skills to make this crucial smith’s tool. This workshop is intended for students who have some forging experience and good hammer control but beginners are also welcome. We will concentrate on the forging of smaller tongs and students can expect to bring home 2 or 3 pairs.
