Class Description: This class is a “Beginner Plus” class. Students will hopefully have finished the Guild’s beginners class, as this class will draw on those skills and add some more. The trivet is an introduction to joinery: forging tenons and using a monkey tool and hot riveting. During this class, each person will be making a basic trivet. If you think you might be interested in joinery this is a starting project in that direction.

Class Champion: Christina Dodge  at  christina.guildmbr@gmail.com

Tools & Equipment participants should bring to class: Tongs to hold ½” square stock and your favorite hammer.

Safety Equipment: The usual for forging with coal: gloves, safety glasses, hearing protection, clothing of natural fiber with no cuffs or fraying, and leather boots or shoes.

Special Instructions: We’ll be using coal forges. Please contact Derrick if experience with coal is limited – we might be able to provide assistance with fire management so you could still 'smith' with us.

Lunch arrangements: Eat at a local establishment or bring a lunch. We’ll break for about an hour. The facilities include a refrigerator and microwave in the classroom area.
