Heat Treatment
Prerequisites: Blacksmithing I& II or equivalent
Service Description
This class will introduce the ‘rough and ready’ blacksmith heat treatment of tools using temper colors to perform the tempering portion of the heat treatment. There will be some information available about ‘modern’ heat treatment provided for later reading, but this class will focus on the heat treatment used for centuries. Participants will create a couple of punches and at least one other tool (screwdriver) and then perform the heat treatment for each tool. If participants want to bring in a small tool they made at their home shop (punches, chisel, etc.) we can also heat treat them. However, we cannot treat larger mass items such as hammers, axes, etc. and no knives for this class. Proper safety equipment, clothing and sturdy, closed-toe shoes are required.
