Get hands-on with hot steel and the tools of the blacksmithing trade as you forge your own layout scribe! In this sampler, youโll learn the basics of heating, hammering, shaping, and finishing steel while creating a practical tool you can actually use in the shop. Youโll get a feel for controlling the hammer, working with glowing metal, and putting basic blacksmithing techniques into practice. Whether youโre new to blacksmithing or looking to try something different, this is a fun, hands-on introduction to the craftโand youโll leave with a useful handmade tool of your own.
