Special Hand Forged Tool Demonstration
Photo Page #3

Brent Bailey

Brent Bailey and Tools Brent Bailey of Orland, California will be our featured demonstrator on Saturday June 11 at Robert Killbucks shop in Magnolia. Brent will demonstrate tool making which is only a part of his forging repertoire. His web site includes examples of architectural and decorative ironwork, jewelry, knives and sculpture. The focal point of his demonstration is to show us how to hand forge, heat treat and polish different kinds of tool steel as he forges 10 individual tools.

In addition to doing high quality work, Brent's trademark is to finish some of his tools with a high polish.

See www.baileymetalworks.com for examples of Brent's work.

Here is a collection of some of the photos from the demo taken by your webmaster Richard Boswell. Click on a small sized thumbnail to see the larger version.......
