SUMMARY:Forge Welding 2020 - Day 1 of 2
DESCRIPTION:Forge Welding 2-Day Class\nSaturday & Sunday\, February 22-23\, 2020\, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm each day\nLocation: Minnesota School of Horseshoeing (map page 7)\nInstructor: Dave Mariette\nCost: $160 member\, $180 non-member\nMaximum students: 8\, Minimum: 6 \nForge welding. So\, you’ve seen it done. It looked so easy. Why doesn’t it work for me\, you ask? David will seek to dispel the mythical mysticism that seems to surround this technique and give you the tools you need to begin forge welding. Like many things\, there is no magic bullet. It is a compilation of doing everything right\, not just one thing. Starting from the ground up learning to manage heat\, you’ll begin with some basic welding\, and as you gain some experience move on to a few more advanced welding configurations. Possible projects this year: a flux spoon\, tripod\, chain\, leaves & tendrils “bouquet” and if time allows\, a basket twist. \nPrerequisite: Solid basic forging experience. We’ll be using coal forges.\nNew this year- advanced forge welding skills option:\nHave you taken this class in previous years\, or done some simple welds but nothing since? David will teach advanced techniques (concurrently with the basics) for those who have done forge welding and would like to progress their skills. Please let us know when registering.\nSafety Equipment: The usual. Eye and ear protection. No flammable clothing. Leather work boots. Since we are forge welding and there will be more sparks than usual\, students should dress with that in mind. Bring an apron if you have one.\nTools and Equipment: Hammer & tongs (for stock sizes to be listed in an acceptance letter). As part of the cost of the class\, students will be provided with their own wire “scratch” brush and a 1-lb. can of EZ Weld. Stock is provided.\nLunch arrangements: Bring a bag lunch or visit one of the area restaurants.\nTo register for this class\, send a check payable to “The Guild of Metalsmiths” and your contact information to:\nChristina Dodge\n17645 Baugh St NW\nRamsey\, MN 55303\nContact Christina with questions at (612) 741-9292 or email christina.guildmbr@gmail.com\nRegistration for this class will be determined by postmark and confirmed with an acceptance letter. Guild members have priority.
