Synthetic and polyester clothing will burn and melt. There will be sparks and brushes against hot metal. A mask (non-synthetic) is also required for classroom demonstrations. \nTools:\nTools are provided\, but if you have a favorite hammer\, punches\, chisels and tools\, bring them along. A small 1 to 2 pound ball peen hammer would work. We have various hammers for you to try and get a feel for what is comfortable. \nTypical day:\nClasses start at 9 am\, but people usually show up earlier to swap stories or show off recent projects. Feel free to bring projects you are working on to show. We break for lunch. You can either bring a brown bag or go out to a local fast food restaurant.

SUMMARY:February 2020 Hammerin/Potluck
DESCRIPTION:Come to forge\, visit\, and eat. Stay for a few hours or the full day.\nThe usual safety gear is required if you’ll be hanging out in the forge area: safety glasses\, natural-fiber clothing\, leather shoes or boots. Hearing protection is recommended.\nBring tools and metal for your project\, something for the potluck if you’d like\, and chip in for the cost of the coal.\nWe’ll be specifically inviting the people who just completed the beginners classes (who might not be Guild members yet) to try out their new skills\, make a project\, and meet some of our wonderful group of metalsmiths. Mentors (you know who you are) are encouraged to attend\, as well as those of you just missing the forge and fellowship during these winter months. We’ll try to keep the use of the forges rotating.\nIf you haven’t been to the School of Horseshoeing\, see the map at right. The blacksmith shop is heated and has 8 coal forging stations. There’s a classroom next to it with a refrigerator\, microwave\, tables and chairs that we’ll use for the food setup.\nContact:\nChristina Dodge\nEmail: christina.guildmbr@gmail.com\nCall or text: 612-741-9292

SUMMARY:Forge Welding 2020 - Day 2 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.

Your participation is key to this. That leads into show and tell\, and possibly an impromptu mini-auction. By then\, we’ll all have worked up an appetite to sit down to our always delightful holiday potluck. \nIf you’re a first-timer to this event\, just go upstairs at the front of the building when you get there. An elevator entrance is also located on the side just off the parking lot. Bring your family!\nAny questions about this meeting can be answered by contacting meeting champion Mike Frattalone at icemanfratt@aol.com.
