Jackson County Green Energy Park Blacksmithing Studio. This course is designed to introduce students to axe-making using hand tools while learning the metallurgy behind producing a quality tool/weapon. Topics covered will include: forging vs stock removal, heat treating and tempering, temperature control vs hammer control, posture, limitations of workability, filing, sanding, sharpening, forge welding and more. We will discuss misconceptions associated with the art and how to fortify proper technique. Students will walk away with a traditional, hand forged axe that has a 1095 (high carbon) core.
