Fall Forge Fest
at
Oldenburg
This years Forge Fest is dedicated to those folks who want to learn proper blacksmith technique or just hone their skills.
Continuing this year's theme of hands-on hammer-ins, our Forge Fest will be a great place to kick off HABA’s Training Progression. Using ABANA’s ‘Controlled Hand Forging’ as a guideline, a series of demonstrations will be presented by several of our local Smiths. We will start with an introduction to shop safety, basic tools & starting a coal forge. The introduction will be followed by drawing a taper, bending an eye, punching a hole, twisting & upsetting.
