SUMMARY:Wire Inlay Class 2024
DESCRIPTION:Instructor:        Martin Pansch\, 612-599-4762     blacksmithingyeti@gmail.com\nCost:                  $55.00\,  $65.00 for non-Guild members\nClass size:         Maximum 8\, minimum 4 students\nClass Description:\nThe class will focus on wire inlay into mild steel. This is a technique that can be used to add decorative elements to many of your projects.  Students will chase grooves in the metal and then chase the bottoms of the grooves square. The two corners thus created will be chased to form an undercut channel. The upper edges of the channels will be chased and filed to create grooves of even width. Copper wire will be planished into the grooves so that the softer metal forms to fit the undercut and it locked in place. Surfaces will then be filed smooth leaving a pattern to  This class will concentrate on the basics of the straight lines\, curved lines\, and dots. We’ll cover both wire that is filed flush with the surface of the steel and left as a raised bead. \nTools and Equipment or other items participants are to bring to the class. \nStudents will need a light\, soft face hammer for striking tools. This hammer should be light enough that thousands of blows will not be tiring. A cheap Chinese ball peen will likely need no softening. Additional tools include: A mill file\, a hack saw\, sand paper\, sharpening stones (a diamond lap plate works well)\, paper\, pencil\, Sharpie ™. Students may consider bringing a supplemental light source or other visual enhancement aids as needed. Bring a stool if you prefer to work sitting. \nA basic set of small chisels will be provided for students for use in the class. Those over-achievers who want to make their own prior to class can request detailed descriptions of the needed tools. \nSafety Equipment – safety glasses & ear plugs are mandatory. \nLunch arrangements: Either bring a bag lunch with you or money to dine at some of the establishments in the area. \nClass manager is Gordon Barr. For questions\, contact Gordon at agbarr@aol.com   952-894-4821 \nTo register online:  click here to our website Education page \nAcceptance priority for this class will be determined by postmark\, and each person will be notified individually \n

The overall courses are skills based\, to incorporate all that was learned in a class taken by the instructors and taught by Mark Aspery.

We will concentrate this portion on forging tooling to perform ½” slot punching and drifting with ½” round and square drifts.

We will take an hour break around noon. \nTo register for this class:  send a check written to -The Guild of Metalsmiths for $160 to:\nDerrick Phillips\n2461 Como Ave\nSt. Paul MN 55108 \nTo register online:  click here to our website Education page \nContact Derrick with questions.  derrickphillipsa3o3@gmail.com. \nAcceptance will be in the order submitted\, based on the online transaction date or postage date\, and each person will be notified individually. \n
