SUMMARY:6-inch Lancashire-style Hacksaw Class 2019
DESCRIPTION:Instructors: Martin Pansch\, Jim Ericksen\, Tom Sanders \nLancaster hacksaw \nClass size: Maximum students: 8 Minimum students: 4\nClass description:\nWhether you are looking for an addition to your period demonstration kit or just want to add some class to your 5-gallon bucket the Lancashire style hacksaw is just the dapper tool you have been looking for. In this class we will be making a 6-inch version of this classic style hacksaw (see photo) using mostly traditional techniques. We will be forging the frame\, drilling then drifting the hole square\, forging and cutting threads in a tensioning bolt and wing nut\, and filling the whole lot to a nice finish. Finally we will be burning a tang into a wooden handle and peening the tang. We will be working with relatively small stock (1/4″ thick) so one doesn’t have to be terribly strong but being able to forge to dimension and accurately split stock with a slitter or hot cut is necessary. We may use striking and top tools to facilitate some steps but it is not required. Students who successfully complete this class should have no problem scaling the process up to make a larger saw on their own if they wish. This is a class for intermediate to advance students.\nTools and Equipment or other items participants are to bring to the class:\nForging hammer\, tongs for ¼” and 3/16″ flat\, 3/8″ and ½” square\, ½” round\, hacksaw (ironic\, I know)\, slitter/hot cut\, ¼” or 3/8″ spring fuller or top and bottom fullers\, ¼” square drift\, ¼” tap and die (match threads preferably)\, set hammer\, sledge hammer\, a flatter\, a scrap of leather to keep from marring the near finished saw while in the vise\, hot rasp\, and a good selection of files (flat\, half round\, round bastards).\nSafety Equipment: Safety glasses\, ear plugs\, work gloves.\nSpecial Instructions: Limited accommodations available at the Pansch farm. Camping on site also available.\nLunch Arrangements: Either bring your own meals or we will figure out a collective feeding plan.\nTo register for this class\, send a check for $125 written out to The Guild of Metalsmiths to:\nMartin Pansch\n201 Nevada Street\nNorthfield\, MN 55057\nContact Martin at blacksmithingyeti@gmail.com or (612) 599-4762 with questions.\nAcceptance priority for this class will be determined by postmark.

SUMMARY:Boot Scraper Class 2016
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Tom Sander\nClass size: Maximum students: 6    Minimum students: 3 \nIf you have walked around rural Minnesota in the spring you have likely become quite a connoisseur of how different mud sticks to your boots. It is also likely this appreciation has also seen you banned from entering the house prior to shedding pounds of you boot covering muddy goodness. Well your troubles are at an end! In this class Tom Sander will lead students in making boot scrapers. Students can chose from making a free standing scraper with a hand hold (pictured)\, one with stakes to drive into the ground\, or one intended to be anchored into concrete. This is an intermediate skill level class that included punching/drifting\, limiters mortice and tenon joinery\, and being able to forge several pieces to match a drawing (and each other). Striking will be used in this class both for drawing steel and top tool use. This is a two day class but there is room for a few people to stay overnight at the Pansch homestead\, assuming you are okay with cats. Join us for a nice relaxing steel pounding weekend in the country with your Guild friends. \nTo register for this class\, send a check for $110 made out to “Guild of Metalsmiths” to:\nMartin Pansch\n8750 Yale Avenue\nYoung America\, MN 55397\nQuestions: (612) 599-4762\, blacksmithingyeti@gmail.com\nAcceptance priority is determined by postmark.

SUMMARY:TIG Welding Class 2016 IS FULL!
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Jim Erickson \nTIG (short hand for Gas Tungsten Arc) welding has become the industrial standard when precise\, neat welds are required. You will find it used on everything from bicycle frames to nuclear reactor coils. In this class Jim Ericksen will try to bestow as much of his many year of experience with TIG into a day. After a little bit of basic theory we will jump right into welding coupons of stainless steel using some top-of-the-line equipment. No previous welding experience needed but the number of types of welds we learn will be determined by how fast people pick up on what is being taught (i.e. if you have some relatable experience going in\, you might get further along). Note: The Guild is not responsible for helping you come up with what to tell your significant other about why you HAVE to get a TIG welder after this class. Everything up to that we’ll help with though. \nTo register\, send check for $90 made out to “Guild of Metalsmiths” to:\nMartin Pansch\n8750 Yale Avenue\nYoung America\, MN 55397 \nClass acceptance priority determined by postmark.

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.
