SUMMARY:Flat Bit Tongs Class April 2016
DESCRIPTION:Instructors:  Martin Pansch\, Larry Wasmund\, Darryl Ponder\, Rob Murray\, Rick Wessling\, Marty Masters\nClass size: Maximum students: 10 Minimum: 5\nTongs\, while deceptively simple looking\, contain a lot of considerations in making them. They should fit the work\, fit your hand\, be long enough but not too long\, sturdy enough but not too heavy\, and constructed in a way that lasts despite heavy use. This class will look at these factors and more as we learn to make tongs using the classic 3-shoulder method. We will be forging flat bit tongs but the majority of the process will transfer to other types (bolt\, pick up\, box jaw\, etc). Students should have already completed the beginner class or equivalent. Techniques involved will include half-face blows\, forging to dimension\, drawing\, punching and riveting. We might play a little with striking for each other and drawing on the power hammer too. The goal is for students to leave with the knowledge needed to make any tongs they need in the future with little more than a hammer\, anvil\, forge and punch. NOTE: This class is on a Sunday\, not Saturday.\nTools and Equipment or other items participants are to bring to the class:  Your favorite blacksmithing hammer\, ¼ to 3/8″ round punch if you have one. Flatters\, sledge hammer\, and hot rasp may also be used but don’t go buy them just for the class.\nSafety Equipment – safety glasses & ear plugs are mandatory. Other safety equipment may include: gloves\, leather apron\, cotton clothing\, leather shoes.\nTo register for this class\, send a check for $40 made out to The Guild of Metalsmiths to:\nMartin Pansch\n8750 Yale Avenue\nYoung America\, MN 55397\nFor questions: 612-599-4762     blacksmithingyeti@gmail.com\nAcceptance priority is determined by postmark.
