Forging S-Hooks

Presented by Red Mountain Makers at Red Mountain Makers - HWP, Birmingham AL

Nov 26 2022

In this class, students will create S hooks with the goal to make each one they produce mimic the last with as little difference between them as possible.

A blacksmiths skill is not just rated on how fast or well-defined they can make pieces repetitively but how closely they can mimic each piece! Precision is key and the ability to recreate pieces over and over that visually match one another demonstrates the talent of a smith. From small pieces to large it is important to have continuity between pieces.
